Usually there is a dipstick tube with a dust cap on it (red or yellow). These vehicles require a dipstick the dealer has as a shop tool. This tool has measurement in centimeters 0-100 and depending on what transmission fluid temperature is at the transmission fluid level should be at. (example 70 deg. F. at 30 centimeters). You would need access to this dipstick and a scan tool that would read transmission data to check the fluid level.

Here is the tube location int he diagrams below and fluid type and capacities

The 4 speed TOTAL system capacity is 8.8 quarts/ initial fill up after service is 4 quarts. If you have the 5 speed, TOTAL system 8.2 quarts/ initial fill up after service is 5.3 quarts. So if you just changed the filter use initial fill up specs to get close and check level on dipstick and adjust accordingly.
