Well, i did the tranny fluid change this morning and yes.....that is the right drain plug. It is located on the side of the transmission, not in the bottom unlike other cars.

Took about 4.75 qts of fluid. Each qt costs about $5.83+tax from the delearship and yes u must use the recommended Diamond SPF iii tranny fluid, using other brands will mess up the tranny in the long run.

Hope this will help other guys who are planning to do it at home.

Okay, so we all know now where the drain plug is. But is where's the "fill" plug? Or is the same plug used for both? Reason I ask cuz I just changed the MTF in my Honda and it had two different plugs. I just don't have a Helms or anything to search for my own answer. Anyone?

you should fill where your ATF dipstick is, that doubles as the fill.

in all the automatics i've seen they have all taken the new ATF this way.
