Just a clarification on the procedure, you don't bring it up to normal temp (>85°), must be under 50°. Big mistake, all too common. Means fluid is expanded hence under filled.
If anything plug up the hole and give ok t an extra couple of squirts.
Also if you haven't heard of it before, the trans pan is a poor compromise by Holden, should use 6L80 pan off Camaro or other sedan which is full size.
Use replacement filter from LSA (6L90) as it is deeper and has a wider mouth. Hence more cool fluid helps trans last longer.
I did this five years ago, tranny has lasted twice its service life under heavy duty.
Oh and while you're down there... may as well drop the diff fluid, flush a wee bit and refill.
