Trans Fluid Dip Stick

The dipstick is a small plug in the bottom of the trans pan on this car. It doesn't have a conventional dipstick and tube. There's a special procedure required for ck'ing the fluid which requires a scan tool and a hoist. But the good news, it's a fill-for-life trans so service isn't needed until 100K miles
