If it's an auto, you take it for a drive, drain the fluid, wipe the
magnet, replace the copper crush washer. You refill it with Honda Z1,
and drive it around for a while. You do it again next weekend. You can
certainly do it a third time if you wish. I like to give it a week so
the magnet will catch as much stuff as it can before I get to wipe it
off the second time. It's less than 4 quarts each time. On an Odyssey /
Accord you can get over 4 litres out of it.
