Sup guys, Anyone could explain to me how to check up on the transmission oil? I see the cap but there is no dipstick that allows me to know if the car needs oil.

Thanks in advance.

You check the back part of the engine if there's a dip stick?

It is not a transmission/dipstick on these cars where you can check the fluid. Its all a sealed unit, if you havent changed the "lifetime" fluid yet do it right away at the dealer.

Don't know what you saying here. I check my transmission oil thru my dip stick at the rear of my engine. Don't know what's a
" LIFETIME " fluid you saying.

Some cars had a lifetime fluid for the tranny. I think it started in 98 which is my wife's car. The fluid is a special fluid for the electronic transmission. I bought the fluid , pan gasket and filter and am going to change it out anyways. You have to buy a special dipstick which is actually considered a tool to check the fluid level.
