It may be one of the newer "filled-for-life" 'boxes in which case the oil should not need changing. But if this is the case and you still want to change it, you will need to buy the correct long-life synthetic oil (expensive- not Dexron II/III) and the filler/dip-stick part.

Check with you dealer with regards to what type you have.

Otherwise the dipstick/filler is normally near the rear engine bulkhead on the driver's side, with a flip/cap.
