I try to do as much mechanical work on my car myself. I take it to a garage in cases where I cannot perform a certain task. I have had this car for ten years now but I have never changed nor topped up the transmission oil because I do not know how to do it. Any guide how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

We do not have that model in US so what I am giving you is from a Altima which yours should be similar. Check oil with dipstick should be between h and l. See picture on how to change fluid it does have a drain plug. Drain it then reinstall through dipstick it uses DEXTRON III transmission fluid. Check fluid when transmission is hot and you may have to shift from reverse to drive to get it to pump. Start out with four quarts. We have no pictures of drain plug but should be on bottom.

Then you will have to drop the pan leave one side loosely connected so only one side of pan will drop and fluid will go into drain pan.
