How much ATF fluid is drained each time for the Persona? I drained mine the other day, and it was definitely more than 4Ls, but I'm not sure how much more is it. I've added up to 4.9L of ATF already, and I cannot really fathom the dip stick reading after numerous shiftings and wiping. 
Edit: I went around the net trying to find an answer before this, and it was either 5L or 4L or 4.5L. With the car started and after shifting through the gears, wiping and leaving the stick in for a few good seconds, the level is just slightly around a quarter below the max cold line, which is perfect. But I am in doubt because when I added the ATF the level didn't seem to be changing at all.
Without the engine started, the ATF reading covers both the max of cold and hot, so this is not really ideal, but then again the measurement of the ATF should be taken with the car started and after shifting through all of the gears according to the manual.

4.9litre? wouldn't that overfilled? usually i read 4-4.5 litre on internet.
last week sent my car change atf, that mechanic did not even start car and gear still left in P when he's filling. he fill-up using 1 bottle of 4 litre, and i saw some atf leak down from beside, might because gear left in P?

I'm not entirely sure either... Proton didn't include the drain amount in the manual
. I only realised that it was more than 4Ls after the 4L engine oil bottle I was using overflowed, but I didn't bother to find out how much extra was there
. I went out just now though, and I checked the level at working temperature and it's touching the max hot line, so for now I believe that the ATF level is most likely around 5L if it's just normal drain with some extra time allocated for the ATF to continue dripping
.
Edit: I think it might be leaking cause he poured too much ATF in one go. The air that fills the space in the gearbox when it's draining comes out the same way the ATF goes in.
ATF shud be 5litre.Edit: I think it might be leaking cause he poured too much ATF in one go. The air that fills the space in the gearbox when it's draining comes out the same way the ATF goes in.
Normally the leak out is due to the mechanic pour too fast and the atf not enough fast to get in to the gearbox.
