So when you fill the trans the car must be running?

If you bought the VX already, make sure you change your profile.

and when you are refilling, if you don't run the vehicle, all the old fluid won't get out and you will have some old stuff left in it.

You can always take is somewhere and have them "flush" it. It is what I do. it doesn't change the filter, but it will get all the dirty fluid out. it takes 14 qts versus the 9 to dump and fill.

Well, sorta. Basically, put in 4 or 5 quarts, then follow the procedure above. You can fill it most of the way with the engine off, but to check the fluid level after you fill you have to have the engine running, again, following the procedure above. I wanna say, last time I drained my fluid, dropped the pan, changed the filter and refilled it was about 5-6 quarts. Your transfer case you can also drain and fill, I think you will need 3-4 quarts for that. Either way, I would have 9-10 quarts of ATF on hand to do the job in full.

PS - Another trick I just remembered but it definitely requires a helper: With the pan dropped, clean and ready to put back up, you can dump 2 or 3 quarts into the pan while it is down, then slowly raise it up (carefully keeping it level) and put 'er in place. This way, you already have 2 or 3 quarts in there that you don't have to siphon or pump.
