As far as I know, you can't check the level Like in most cars...there is no dipstick.
I just changed mine out to full Syn.
Jacked up the car, got it level, drained out the old...plug is on the passenger side bottom of the tranny at the back. Filled with Mobil 1 ATF Synthetic. Fill plug is on the drivers side, half way up the side in the middle of the tranny. You will need a pump to fill the tranny with fluid. Fill until it seeps out the fill hole. Should take about 3 3/4 quarts to 4.1 quarts, depending on how much of the old fluid you get out.
Peace

1) Start the engine and allow the engine to idle until the transmission fluid temperature has reached the value specified.
2) Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through the gear ranges, pausing a few seconds in each range. Return the shift lever to the PARK range.
3) Raise the vehicle on a hoist. The vehicle must be level with the engine running and the shift lever in the PARK range. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
Caution
The engine must be running when the transmission fluid fill plug is removed, or excessive fluid loss will occur. Transmission fluid may be hot. Since the actual fluid level is unknown, stand clear when removing the fill plug. Have a container ready to capture any lost fluid. Do not turn the engine off with the fill plug removed, as you can be injured by hot transmission fluid being expelled out of the oil fill opening.
4) Remove the transmission plug.
Important
The transmission fluid may darken with normal use and does not always indicate contamination or oxidation.
5) Check the fluid color. If necessary, use a small screwdriver as a dipstick.
