Anyone know where to find the drain plug on the 6f55 and about how much will drain?  Figure it's one more thing to get done on my checklist.

I tried using the mityvac through the dipstick and was only able to get just under 2 qt's out.  The level was fine before and i filled up what i took out, but definitely not the most effective or efficient method.

Should get 5 quarts per drain.  3 drain & fills should simulate a flush.  Don't have a pic of the drain plug on the 6f55, but on the 6f50, it looks like this:
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

No, just plug # 1.

I was getting just over 4 quarts per drain for what it's worth...

We got somewhere between 5 and 6 in.

My plan is to do that, ptu, and rdu yearly at the same time.

The 15 trans runs much cooler, the amsoil and the coolers work excellent together.

Just did the PTU and RDU about a week ago.  Now it's time for the transmission.  I'm planning on doing this yearly too and all about the same time.
