Purchase the specified transmission fluid and a new filter. Gather other necessary tools such as a floor jack, jack stands, a drain pan, newspapers, and clean rags.

At the specified intervals, the transmission fluid should be drained and replaced. The fluid will remain hot long after driving, so perform this procedure only after the engine has cooled down completely. Before beginning work, purchase the specified transmission fluid and a new filter. Other tools necessary for this job include a floor jack, jack stands to support the vehicle in a raised position, a drain pan capable of holding at least eight pints, newspapers and clean rags. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the center transmission mount nut. Use a floor jack positioned under the transmission pan to raise the transmission slightly. Place a block of wood between the pan and jack head to prevent damage to the pan. Once the transmission Is raised, insert a small wood block between the mount and crossmember. Place the drain pan underneath the transmission pan. Remove the front and side pan mounting bolts, but only loosen the rear pan bolts approximately four turns. Carefully pry the transmission pan loose with a screwdriver, allowing the fluid to drain. Remove the remaining bolts, pan and gasket. Carefully clean the gasket surface of the transmission to remove all traces of the old gasket and sealant. Drain the fluid from the transmission pan, clean it with solvent and dry it with compressed air. Remove the filter from the mount inside the transmission. If the seal did not come out with the filter, remove it from the transmission. Install a new filter and seal. Make sure the gasket surface on the transmission pan is clean, then install a new gasket on the pan. Put the pan in place against the transmission and, working around the pan, tighten each bolt a little at a time until the final torque figure is reached. Lower the vehicle and add approximately seven pints of the specified type of automatic transmission fluid through the filler tube. With the transmission in Park and the parking brake set, run the engine at a fast idle, but don't race it. Move the gear selector through each range and back to Park. Check the fluid level. It will probably be low. Add enough fluid to bring the level up to the COLD FULL range on the dipstick. Check under the vehicle for leaks during the first few trips.

If there's a drain plug, remove it, allow the fluid to drain until it barely trickles, and then reinsert the plug.

At the specified maintenance intervals, it's important to perform a transmission fluid replacement. Only initiate this procedure after the engine has completely cooled down. Prepare by acquiring the necessary tools: transmission fluid, a new filter, and pan gasket. You'll also need a floor jack, jackstands for secure vehicle support, a drain pan with adequate capacity, newspapers, and clean rags. Elevate the vehicle and secure it on jackstands, removing the front section of the exhaust system if it obstructs pan removal. Position the drain pan beneath the transmission pan, remove the drain plug if present, allow the fluid to drain until it barely trickles, and then reinsert the plug. If there's no drain plug, take out the bolts from three sides of the pan, partially loosen the remaining bolts, and lower the pan to drain most of the fluid. Afterward, remove the bolts, carefully lower the pan, and drain the remaining fluid. To access the pan bolts on the right side, eliminate the heat shield near the catalytic converter. On the driver's side, remove the shift linkage to access the pan bolts. Undo the transmission pan mounting bolts and gently pry the pan loose with a screwdriver. Thoroughly clean the transmission's gasket surface to eliminate any remnants of the old gasket and sealant. Clean and dry the pan, remove the filter from the valve body inside the transmission, and install a new seal and filler, if necessary. Ensure the transmission pan's gasket surface is clean, then attach a new gasket and install the pan against the transmission, securing all bolts. Tighten each bolt gradually to the specified torque. Reinstall components removed for pan bolt access, lower the vehicle, and add about 4 quarts of the specified automatic transmission fluid through the filler tube. With the engine running at a fast idle and the transmission in Park, cycle the gear selector through each range and back to Park before letting the engine idle. Check the fluid level, which is likely to be low, and add fluid as needed to reach the proper mark on the dipstick, avoiding overfilling. Lastly, inspect for leaks under the vehicle during initial trips and recheck the fluid level when the transmission is hot.

If there's no drain plug, remove the bolts from three sides of the pan, partially loosen the remaining bolts, and lower the pan to drain most of the fluid. Afterward, remove all the bolts, carefully lower the pan, and drain the remaining fluid.

No, the oil pan gasket will need to be purchased separately

Yes, a new grommet is included with the filter
