Everything you need to know to DIY a CVT fluid Change

Re: Everything you need to know to DIY a CVT fluid Change
So was my last change. I let the transmission drain for a long time to get as much as I can out of the torque converter, and it was 3/3 spot on.

Re: Everything you need to know to DIY a CVT fluid Change
In a few threads I've read others replacing the cvt fluid 3 times, running the car between each, to attempt to replace the majority of all 5 quarts. Is the MM assuming a full flush when it tells you to replace cvt fluid, or only a single 3 quart change? Which to do?
I prefer only doing it once if that's okay.

After 1 drain and refill 3 qt drained 2.4 qt left means 3/5.4= 56% of fluid was drained.
After 2nd drain and fill 56% of the remaining 2.4 qt of old fluid is replaced = 1.3 qt which means 4.3/5.4 approx = 80% of original fluid is now replaced.
After 3rd drain and fill 56% of the remaining 1.1 qt old fluid is replaced = .62 qt which means approx 4.92/5.4 = 91% of original fluid is now replaced.
So it seems a second drain and fill might be worth it to get 80% fluid out but in my opinion a 3rd drain and fill to get to 91% is probably not worth it.
