FYI - I spoke with the dealer today (parts guy) to try to order some MTF LT3 fluid for my car. He said that the fluid needs to be changed at a certain temperature to not damage the transmission. WTF? I know draining while warm helps the fluid drain, but I've never heard of this for filling it. Any thoughts?

Also, the fluid is $47/liter. I believe 2 quarts is what we need, so it looks like some measuring is in order.
