non dino in the trans

[loquito]

I've read all the threads about sinthetic vs dino. Working on my ship the turbins all ran on sinthetic so I am sold. I've even seen the spread sheet that estimates amount changed with each drain / fill.
My question is how do most of you replace the trany with only sinthetic, the pull the cooler hose way talks about utilizing a whole bunch of extra fluid.
Do most modern Toyo shops have the machine that sucks out the old and replaces with new, very little waste. About how much should this cost.
After the initial change to sinthetic the fluid changes would be easy as changing out old dino for new dino.
How did you folks do it?

I haven't done this yet either because of the $$ for 20 or so quarts of synthetic fluid. Probably just going to continue drain and fills at 7500 miles for a few cycles.

Even if you have a shop do it on a fluid exchange machine (I think it's around $80 to $90 plus the cost of the fluid), the exchange takes around 18 to 20 quarts, so no magic tricks that I'm aware of there.

Cycling it out at the cooler hose seems like a logical/easy approach for the DYI'er.

I think a lot of guys--myself included--are just doing the gradual drain/refill method.
