A little off topic, but I know of one larger transmission repair company 
that would
drain the trannies when they started to tear them down, all fluid going
into 
a common
vat.  The mixture of fluids was then pumped through a series of filters, 
after which
it was deemed to be "clean".  It was used to fill the trannies after they 
were rebuilt
and installed.

Nice huh?

That shop is now gone, since the owner and operator died.
