you can't check it, only way to check is to change it. Unless you have issues with it, or its a limited slip, its not worth touching really.

you can check  with a bendy straw, but only good to see if its up on oil. and how good it feels in your fingers. :y

From the guide:

Fill via the level plug until oil starts to run out.

Not technically "checking", I suppose, but it does the job.
