    Drain plug on the bottom like the engine, then to refill, remove battery and battery tray to access fill plug, you need 1.8l of oil to refill

      I changed mine when I replaced driveshafts, it can be done without removing the battery and tray. Just move the ECU to the side - dont disconnect it - then you can get at the fill plug, mine was very tight. Clean around the plug before removing , I used a stiff paintbrush. Use a clean bit of garden hose about 3 foot long with a clean funnel at the top. It will fit in the fill hole, just stick a small screwdriver beside it to allow the air out to avoid it bubbling up the pipe. Dealer told me to put in 1.7l.
