You may want to swap the external filter while your at it.

I would recommend a more frequent drain interval if you are only going to use the drain plug since it will take numerous drain and fills to purge out old fluid at 50% replacement per drain. basically, you will always have old fluid in there.

By the time you do multiple pan drains.. its probably better to just get a mechanic to use the machine and do it all at once...
