So if I were to switch to ATF in my primary, should I let the primary drain over night to remove as much of the old oil as possible or does it matter?
Any particular brand you'd recommend?

Mobil one ATF is what I use. Drain it warm and let it drip until it stops. Fill it up and ride. If you want all the fluid out, pull the outer primary cover.

I always change it when it's hot so should be no issues. Goons give this a try.
