I have a 06 LS and a dipstick would be nice. LOL. I do drain and fills and replace exactly what drains out. Usually it is 3 quarts and that is what goes back in. I have always used WS atf and probably will stay with that. I also believe Maxlife syn ATF would work fine doing periodic drain and fills.

Thanks all. Checked the fluid again tonight after my drive home and it now looks absolutely perfect. Thank you for the advice. I will continue to keep an eye on it and drain it again in the next 3 months!
