I think it was 20-30 that people put in. I think you could also use 10-30 and still be ok.

Drain it duh. Do you really want that old crap in there? It probably wouldn't be good mixing either, but it's gonna mix anyways because some tranny fuild is gonna be left stuck in there, but that's no problem.
