Auto Transmission V6 Tacoma

Just purchased 07, V6 Automatic 5 Speed Tacoma this past week. Looking in owners manual and under the hood and there appears to be no transmission dipstick. How would you check the fluid and add if and when you change fluid? Owners manual makes no mention of checking fluid.

Also noticed how small the oil pan was.. definitely seems different, but really like the idea of the oil filter being on top of the engine under the hood.

there is no dipstick. its a sealed transmission. supposedly doesnt need changin for 100k miles if i remember. also, u gotta use a certain ATF fluid and not just any ATF fluid.

also search the forum and u will find more info about this

And to save you the trouble of looking, there's no fuel filter to change either.
