Where is Transmission dip stick

[calxen61]

OK, I know there is no dip stick, but how do you:

1. Check trans fluid level?
2. Change trans fluid?

on a 2008 s auto

According to Mini this is a LIFETIME FLUID.

There are tons of talk on this most do not buy this and there is a filter ect in the tranny
If you do to real oem and punch in the year ect you can get the exploded view and the filter ect

Most Mini dealers will not drain/refill... several DIY types are draining and refilling several times driving several thousand between drains to circulate new/old togetherthen dropping the pan and cleaning the bottom and the filter change then refilling

Wow, it is hard to find any of that info, how can the fluid last a lifetime. Any failures?
