Once you remove the orange sleeve, you definitely want a drain pan handy because then about 3 liters of fluid will come out.

Here is a picture of my incredibly filthy so-called "lifetime" transmissions fluid.

BTW, this fluid starts out "honey colored" - even lighter colored than motor oil. After 70,000 miles, it's completely black with lots of debris on the pan magnet.
