In my opinion, since it hold so little fluid, less than 1/2 quart, just
flush with the synthetic. What I did is suck out the old from the reservoir,
fill with synthetic (Amsoil ART). Run. Repeat until 2 quarts of new have
been added.
Drive a week, repeat. Drive another week repeat. Should be clean now and you
used 6 quarts.
