    When the motor is "cold", on the trans pan is a very large, recessed allen key towards the rear, loosen the allen key, start the engine, run through the gears, have it idle in neutral, remove the allen key and fill up what is required until oil starts to over flow out of the filler hole.
    Use only the recommended oil prompted on the sticker on the transmission.
