My ATF did not look too bad so I simply dropped the sump cover off the gearbox catching the fluid as best i could. Did not change the filter but filled up with new ATF.
It would seem that they do not expect it to need changing so make no simple provision for doing so.

i know some on here have changed the autobox oil, just found this on a site....

As an import I thought I'd change all of the fluids inc . the auto trans fluid. However, having purchased the filter and gasket I now find that all the auto specialist I've contacted say "Don't do it!". They say that the damage that can be caused to the seals etc when doing a fluid change isn't worth risking and that I should just keep it topped up.
