Transmission does not have a dipstick. Fill to bottom of fill plug

Fluid level must be checked at temperature of 104 °F (40 °C). To obtain proper temperature, perform the following:
Idle vehicle for 3-5 minutes.
Shift into each gear position, holding in each position for 3 seconds.
Place gear selector in Park. Raise and support vehicle. Place oil drain pan below oil check plug. Oil check plug is located in center of transaxle above pan rail, on torque converter side. Remove oil check plug

it take 4 to 8 qts of fluid
