2. Locate the transmission oil drain plug. It is usually located on the bottom of the transmission pan.
3. Place the drain pan under the drain plug. Be careful, as the oil may be hot.
4. Use the wrench to loosen the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.
5. Replace the drain plug. Tighten the plug until it is snug.
6. Locate the transmission oil fill plug. It is usually located on the side of the transmission.
