I would recommend that you cycle the jacks and use them several times and then change the fluid again. These units don't have a flush port and nobody has a kidney loop filter around (a Hydraulic device for cleaning fluids). ATF is cheap, jacks are not.

They use ATF fluid? I can see it. Just a little surprised. ATF's are hydraulic at the end of the day.
Wonder if you can install a 'shift kit' to make them deploy and retract faster (I'm joking).
