OK metalgear, here is a summary from the service manual... ( I can give you a copy for $300) since it goes into more detail with illustrations and diagrams which I could not copy.
The fulid used is DIA QUEEN ATF SP3 and should be changed at around 40K.
I never changed it myself but it does not seem difficult and looks good for a weekend project with some other tuners.
The procedure :
1. Remove the hose which allows the A/T fluid to flow from the A/T fluid
cooler to the transmission.
2. Start the engine and discharge the A/T fluid.
Driving conditions: N range, idling
Discharge amount: Approx. 3.5 L
3. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission case to drain out the remaining A/T
fluid.
Discharge amount: Approx. 2.0 L
4. Install the drain plug with a gasket in between, and tighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 32 2 N⋅m
CAUTION
Stop pouring in the A/T fluid once 5.5 L has been poured in.
5. Pour in new A/T fluid through the oil filler tube.
Amount to add: Approx. 5.5 L
6. Connect the hose which was disconnected in step 1, and then securely re-insert the oil level gauge.
9. Start the engine, and let it run at idle for 1 − 2 minutes.
10.Move the selector lever to all positions once, and then return it to the P position.
11.Check that the A/T fluid level on the oil level gauge is at the COLD mark. If it is not up to this
mark, add more A/T fluid.
12.Drive the vehicle until the A/T fluid temperature reaches the normal temperature (70 − 80C), and then re check the A/T fluid level.
NOTE: The COLD mark is for reference only; the
HOT marks should be used as the standard for
judgment.
NOTE: Check the oil level .
13.When A/T fluid is under the specified level, top up A/T fluid. When A/T fluid is over the specified
level, drain the excessive A/T fluid from the drain plug to adjust A/T fluid level to the specified level.
14.Securely insert the oil level gauge into the oil filler tube.
