Where do I add transmission fluid? Do I add it where the dip stick is? It's a 3.1L v6 engine w/ multi port fuel injection.

Yes. start the car and warm it up, with the engine running trans in park,remove the dipstick and wipe it clean, reinsert. Pull the stick and look at the level, remember those are pint marks so add slow so you dont over-fill it

Suggested Repair

Add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. With the engine warm and running and the transmission in park, wipe and reinsert the dipstick, then check the level. The marks are in pints, so add fluid slowly to avoid overfilling.
