Are you just going to drop the pan and replace the filter and re-fill or are you going to flush the entire system or both?
On my 47RE I used 6 pints for the filter/refill, then 10 more pints during the flush.

on the NV5600 just pull the bottom bolt of the PTO cover out, let it drain. then to fill I used a hand pump and took out the top bolt of the PTO cover.

AMSoil 5w30MTF is some good stuff
