2010 e450 6.8L Trans Fluid and Filter Chg
Greetings all, I'm trying to talk myself into changing trans fluid and filters myself. Owned it for a year (Used Rental 140K miles), color looks like it's turning a bit so I figure it's time. ...

Never heard of an external filter.
The simplest thing to do is drop the pan, replace the filter (probably not necessary) and then top it off with Mercon LV. If you are dropping the pan, you need a ATD Tools 5192 Transmission Drain Funnel over a large catch pan.
I know this will only get about 1/3 to 1/2 of the fluid, but the only way to get 100% of the fluid out is to disconnect the pressure line to the cooler, attach a hose to it and then into a 5 gallon bucket. Start the engine and start adding ATF like crazy until you have about 2 gallons in the bucket.
You are still going to spill some, so make sure to lay down a lot of cardboard.
