Also I flushed a lot more then was written. I used a full 12 quarts through the whole process. Which is more then needed. But I had it laying around.

Is that okay flashing only by draining without change filter and o-ring?

Doing a drain and fill, without touching the filters is certainly fine. Although you'll only be changing about 40% of the fluid that way (about 4 quarts out of nearly 9 quarts total). Be sure that you refill with the same amount of fluid you drained out, the CVT can be quite sensitive to proper fluid level.
