Its a V6 and I actually talked to a friend that rebuilds transmissions and he said that there is a bolt that is on the bottom of the pan that is indented and is a torx on the inside of the bolt. However to change the fluid you do just like any other transmission, unbolt the pan at one end and drain the fluid until its almost all out and then take the pan out. Next you change the filter and reinstall the pan and remove the bolt, the torx part and that is where you put the fluid back in and you also have to start the vehicle and leave it in park. When the fluid starts to come back out is when it is full, the transmission, w/o the torque converter, should hold about 4 quarts. Now all I need to know is how often to change the fluid, why can't the manufactures just come up with a way to check the fluid, but thats the way to push out the driveway mechanic from maintaining there own vehicles!
