Transmission fluid change

[bowin]

Hi all,
I have 2000 S500. I am here again with questions?
I would like to change my transmission fluid with my mechanic. I read through all related post and found that the new fluid should be pour into transmission TUBE. Where is this tube located? Is it the same with the dipstick tube? I will buy the dipstick tools and new cap, but not able to proceed unless i am sure where to refill back.
Thanks.
Appreciate your feedback.

Dipstick tube and fill tube are one and the same. It's likely capped and at the rear of the engine. Your car probably does not have a torque converter which is too bad I think because you won't be able to drain out but about half of your old ATF if that.

Thank you for your reply.
It is my astonishment that my car does not have torque converter. I was all the while thinking to drain or not to drain TC. In this case how do I drain all liquid? How many liters will come out from normal drain w/o TC?

Maybe he meant that there isn't a torque converter drain plug. Just a guess...

Sorry for all of your confusions.
I did not say i don't have a TC. I am following someone's reply. I want to make 100% sure before I open oil pan.
