2003 3.0 transmission fluid change

Just got back from the dealer where I was informed that the trans fluid filter is $150 and fluid is only sold in 20 liter $500 increments. Anyone have advice? Anything to be aware of when draining, re sealing the pan and refilling?

Some dealers let people bring in their own containers and buy the fluids by the liters. But otherwise, you can buy OEM transmission fluids that come in 5-liter containers as well.

I just had my transmission fluid changed this week. I got the fluid from the dealer and then have an indy shop do the change.

If you are handy and have access to a lift this is a straight forward DIY. If not, technically you can use a non OEM fluid. Have done this on multiple cars with success.
