This is what I would be afraid to do. You will probably stir so much crap up, that it might shock the trans. Somehow it does know/measure adaptations. I feel perfectly fine dropping the pan the first time. Then I will just drain via the plug, and fill every oil change. In no time, the fluid will be at 99% renewed.
