Hydraulic fluid change-out

[TexasTwoStep]

Does anyone know how much hydraulic fluid would be withheld from the reservoir with everything out or down? Need to change fluid but don't want to reset everything.

You could mark the current level on the tank, then remove old fluid, then fill with new fluid to the mark. But much fluid will remain in hydraulics. If dirty, it will contaminate the new fluid when retracted.

I figured as much, thanks.
