I figure before I tow my camper this year I should check the level of my auto trans fluid. So how do I do this is there a dipstick someplace or do I need some sort of scan tool that only the dealer can do?

Dipstick is on the passenger side of the engine and is held down with a 10MM head bolt. Vehicle at normal operating temperature, in Park or Neutral, on a level surface. Check the dipstick just like you would on most other automatic transmission vehicles. MIN and MAX lines or equivalent on the dipstick. No scantool or other equipment needed.

Juts to mention engine needs to be running while you're checking A/T fluid level :)
