I stand corrected. I apologize.

But like I said earlier, use OEM.

inspection i presume? i thought we had a sealed transmission that fluid can't be changed..

Drain and fill. It normally takes 3-4qts. There's cooler lines that you can possibly do a flush on; but without a dipstick...I wouldn't do it unless you've got a way to put the exact same amount of fluid in you took out. There's a fluid level check procedure that requires a cold start (under 100degrees) basically look at the flow of the fluid coming out of the level plug. IF you look at the trans pan, there's 2 plugs on it, the 14mm plug is the drain, the other one with a allen(5 or 6mm), there's a spacer in there with threads, and you're supposed to look at the flow coming out of the hole to check fluid level. Please do not attempt to take it out unless you know what the whole procedure is! Many bad things can happen if you don't have the correct level of fluid in there! Even at the dealer, a scantool is required to properly inspect the fluid level.

The plugs on the passenger side are really easy to get to. Most you have to do is take out the engine cover and intake tube. A 10mm bolt and disconnect one of the coils. Take a spark plug socket and take the plug out! It shouldn't take you longer than 5 minutes considering you've got the proper tools. Once you see the plug, u'll understand why it's $44. IT's super long and it's got 3 tips on it! Talk to the dealer and ask if you can have the plugs at list price. Some will work with you. The plugs on the driver's side will require the intake to come off.
