Good morning,

You will need to drop the pan and change the filter and then add the correct fluid.

I attached a guide for you to perform this repair.

Yes, but are there any examples performed specifically on my car's make and model (ecotec)? Just to be more precise with the operation.

Okay, since these do not have dipsticks, they have a port on top of the transmission where you add the fluid.

I attached a you tube video for you to view.
