    From my experience with Auto boxes, they are usually filled via the gearbox dipstick...

    Drain it completely and consult your owner manual as to how much and what type( if it needs a special type (unlikely)).

    By the way, don't forget to replace the drain plug before you re-fill it... :blink:
