Did you just do the drain and fill with the front end up on the ramps? I was planning on doing that but i read places people are saying to make sure the car is level. And i do not feel like putting it up on 4 jack stands for the fluid drain and fill. let me know please, i also only have two jack stands lol. And how important is tech stream? I plan on doing it without techstream, bad idea or no?

You can use a OBD2 scanner ( i use mx link) You can get trans temp with that. Make sure the car is level, at the temp (I did between 105-113) but that could be wrong. There isnt much info on our car about this. Also the car should be running when you check the level from the bolt on bottom of the pan.

Vehicle *MUST BE LEVEL*. Otherwise, you will fill to the incorrect level and the fallout will be above your pay grade for sure.

You can put the vehicle into temp detection mode with a simple paper clip - no Techstream needed. Search around the forum for how to do it.

The entire trans fill process is pretty well documented in the service manual if you care to pay for 24 hours of use and download the appropriate sections. That's what I did, anyway.
