I do a 3x3 change on my Hondas. That’s a drain and refill 3 tines (with 3 quarts each time), topping it off on the 3rd fill. Drive around the block in between each refill.
Cycling through the transmission between refills is guaranteed to get nearly 100% of the fluid changed in the transmission versus just draining and filling once.
Also change the filter st this time if it’s an external inline filter.

ITS NOT LIKE FLUSHING A DAMN TOILET YOU MORON !!!
a tranny flush simply lets the tranny pump out the old worn out fluid as its replaced with fresh new fluid.
everyone should do a tranny flush fluid replacement every 100k miles. this is not a drain and refill the pan but you actually replace "all" the fluid in the tranny.
a few idiots still go around insisting it makes trannys fail but these are old wives tales morons keep repeating because they read it on the internet somewhere because back in 1970 the way trannys were made this sometimes did happen because the way those older trannys were made the gritty dust from the friction disks helped worn out trannys still work but when the grit was removed from them it made the tranny start slipping. this happened because the tranny already needed the friction plates replaced, but the old dirty fluid kept it working.
tranny fluid (even the ones they claim last forever, has a set lifespan, and after 100k miles it needs replacing or your tranny can lack proper lubrication and have premature failure
Yeah what do I know? I’ve only worked for Caterpillar for over 20 years and am factory trained in powertrain dignostics, rebuild, and maintenance.
Idiot.

Apparently there's some #karma for me . Driving home from work last night and ran over something and knocked a hole in my oil pan and was stranded on the interstate and had to call a wrecker where the driver smoked and didn't crack a window. It was an awkward ride to my house

Never fooled with a transmission flush or any other thing the mechanics try to push
You're comparing one of the most durable transmissions ever made with the slush box that is in the ford...
PS, do a drain and fill ya damned heathen.
And if you get another one, run Mobil1 0w40 in the engine. They shear it down to a 30 weight fairly quickly and it works great.

Does heavy equipment have the same type of transmission as an SUV?

Darth, I'm sorry, but no.
I've done a drain and fill on every used vehicle I've ever purchased. From 60k to 300k, drain and fill every 30k miles.
I've had 4x4s with slipping transmissions, drain and fill with valvoline full syn, and everything got better.
Seal conditioners are a beautiful thing.
