there is a level plug on the side of the box.


Emptying obviously not easy, either use a pump, or drop the sumps.

Filling, fill till fluid spills, with the engine warm, running, and level (after just going through all gears when stationary)

Yup, should be red(ish) in colour, replace the filter, and put some fresh ATF in there (Dextron III)

If you want to change as much ATF as possible you need to drop the small sump as well
