Think about this. My Suzuki Boulevard C90 took about 4 quarts when I changed the oil. When the fluid got hot the heat was distributed to “all” the components.
When I changed all my fluids in the Limited it was around 5.7 quarts. First off, I’m dealing with almost two quarts more than the metric, more oil to distribute the heat right? Second, the heat in the trans and primary should be cooler than the engine oil, right? What about metal filings from the different areas mixing together? I would seem to me that the fluids being separate would be better in the long haul. It also allows you to choose different choices of fluids types, weight, etc.
That said, I vote for 3 holes.
