The main challenge is that those sealed transmissions don't have a dipstick, and they can only be checked within a specified temperature range. But how can you read the transmission temperature? You need a scan tool, which is going to cost you around $150 to $200.
Alternatively, you can achieve this by using an infrared thermometer aimed at the oil pan to get an estimated temperature, and use a food thermometer to measure the actual temperature of the oil coming out of the pan. Additionally, the car needs to be leveled, and you will also need a leveling tool. It might sound a bit complicated, which is why they charge you an arm and a leg.
However, if you perform the drain and fill, measure exactly how much you have drained, spend $20 to buy a large catch pan, try to catch all the fluid without spilling on the ground, and measure and put back what you drained, then you don't have to go through that pain in the ass level adjustment process

You have no clue what you're talking about. 😂
My comment was regarding flushing and refilling the fluid in your transmissions. You shouldn't ever flush and refill the transmission fluid on most cars during the lifetime of the car. Period. It's a great way to pay money to ruin a perfectly good transmission which will cost thousands to replace/rebuild.

Someone on there posted the difference between flushing and just refilling:
"Drain and fill - open the drain plug, let warm fluid drain into a disposal pan, close drain plug, fill to proper level.
Flush - use a machine to actively force fluid into and out of the transmission until it runs clean. This can force chunks of debris into small passages, farking things up. (Edit - if there are no chunks of debris because you actually drain and fill on schedule, flushing shouldn't do damage)."
Problem is - most people don't do car maintenance on schedule on even mundane stuff like regular oil changes (let alone changing transmission fluids) - and even then, some people go way outside the stated engine oil intervals. It's just a bad idea to recommend flushing a transmission fluid - unless you are a mechanic.
