Hello,

The transmission can be service easily on this vehicle.
This vehicle uses Mercon V Automatic Transmission Fluid.

First you will have to raise and support the vehicle on jack sands to get started.

Here is a helpful guide:

The transmission pan bolts need to be torqued at 9 lb. ft.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
