I changed the fluid in my 97 twice, and my 01 once. The first time in my 97, with 75K I drained the fluid out of the pan, measured and it. It was about 2 quarts. I then dropped the pan to check the filter/screen and it was clean! the fluid was a deeper red that new fluid. I reassembled the pan, and removed the upper cooling line from the radiator. Put a piece of heater hose with a hose clamp on the radiator. Put 2 qts of Mobil 1 back in. I got a 1/2 gal. plastic milk jug and put the heater hose in. Have someone start the car, and when you get 2 more qts., shut it off and replace the 2 qts. You keep doing this until you see fresh red fluid. Mine took about 9 qts.
