VIN# 1MEFM40105G611724. First I am not sure, if it is a CVT or traditional automatic transmission? I am pretty much suspecting its the traditional one. It has tiny yellow plastic dipstick between transmission and radiator, more easily accessible from underneath the car.

Second, any guide on dropping the pan and replacing/servicing the transmission filter. I see its not horizontal, it is vertically lying between transmission and radiator.

It is a traditional automatic transmission. Attached are instructions on how to service it. The filter is inside the transmission, and not accessible.

Great, thanks for quick response. So sounds like I should be just draining and refilling the transmission fluid? No point in opening the pan for regular service/flush, right?
