All I could find is this;

That doesn't have the location of where to drain or fill the oil. Anyone know where I can find that?

Is this the right tool to remove the oil filler and drain plugs?

Hmmm

So you want to drive a Porsche but you dont want to pay $120 for a transmission oil change? Maybe you are driving the wrong car, try a japanese car they are cheaper

well, i learned along time ago that most mechanics halfass when they work on someone elses car so if i can do it myself i will. i'm very anal about maintenance, i service my duramax every 3,000 miles, service my quads every other trip to the desert, service my turbo subaru sandrail every other trip and service the generator in my toyhauler every 20 hrs and i save alot of money doing my own work and i know its done correctly. some people have more money than brains . i have a little of both, i thank god i started with more brains than money though
