Just one word of advice for anyone attempting a fluid change of any form (oil, tranny, diff, etc.). NEVER drain the fluid before you ensure that you can actually get the fill bolt off.

Shouldn't be an issue on such a new car, however, I have seen it happen...and when it does you are in deep kimchi. (empty tranny and no way to get new fluid in...)

Thanks for the pics, BCJ. That should help some folks out.
