Also what transmission fluid would be best to use.



Please don't give me asnwers like read the manual because there are better options.

Sorry, but manuals have a precise purpose. If you are attempting mechanical repair and recommended maintenance on your above average car then a Factory Service Manual is strongly suggested. Or you can pay a qualified facility.How do you change the fluid in your auto transmission?
Most Japanese cars have a drain plug, just like for the oil.



If it does, drain it, measure the amount that came out, and refill. Drive it for a few hundred miles, then do it again. You can repeat one more time if you like. Driving it flushes the old fluid out of the converter.
