What are the steps for changing transmission fluid?

For automatic transmission fluid replacement, the gravity drain method can be used. It's very simple, just like changing engine oil. Below are the steps for the gravity drain method: 1. The gravity drain method is very simple - first lift the vehicle using a lift, as the transmission is usually located beneath the engine. 2. Remove the transmission protective cover to reveal a square box, which is the transmission oil pan. 3. Loosen the transmission oil pan drain plug to drain the fluid. The old transmission fluid will flow out through this drain hole. Before draining, it's best to place a container underneath to collect the old fluid. This way you'll know exactly how much fluid was drained, making it easier to determine how much new fluid to add later, and it's also more environmentally friendly.
