The most difficult part of a drain & fill is pouring 12 quarts of oil down the small dip stick pipe. One of these days I'll get a pump.
You guys are a bunch of wooses ;)
The dipstick an fill tube on my Sprinter based motorhome is so small I use a funnel and have to dribble the fluid in using a small cup and it takes me about two hours to fill the 11 quarts or so it holds (I have a deep aluminum pan that holds about 2½ additional quarts over a standard sprinter.
It seems that no matter what language they speak, mechanical engineers are a bunch of stupid people when it comes to simple things like the size of a FILLER tube.
I am a big fan of the dump and refill frequently camp. I have a Pontiac Vibe (Toyota Matrix in GM clothes) and the transmissions in Toyotas do not have filters, just screens, so I dump and refill the tranny every 10K mile engine oil change. At 160+K the transmission fluid looks like new.
