I am going to change back to super udt, and my concern is that I will have some of the fluid I am using now remaining in the FEL. Is there any way I can completely drain everthing out before refilling with the right stuff?
Thanks!

I am guessing that the short answer is NOPE.....all of the implements are filled with the old fluid. You would have to completely empty the FEL and any other toys, I mean tools that you have used.

Most fluids, even synthetic, are compatable with one another. Check the label and make sure.

Do you still have the Super that you removed? If so, maybe you could drain the current fluid, re-install the old Super run for a while and drain again. At least it would lessen the amount by mixing it.

Just a thought as my old Super is still sitting in jugs at the house because I haven't taken it anywhere to dispose of yet.

I wouldn't re-install old fluid- especially in this application. The last thing you want are contaminants in the old fluid back in your hydro system.
Even with the fluid left in the hoses and lines, draining and refilling will replace 99.8% of the fluid. What little remains will mix with your new fluid will not be detrimental.
