Captiva auto transmission help

[Lrzard123]

Doh! drained the auto transmission instead of the engine by mistake, the reason i did not pick it up was the fluid was black as the engine oil and the plugs are close together, now the problem, it is a sealed transmission and i am stuffed if i know where to refill it, it does not have a transmission dip stick and if it has a breather i cannot find it??? there must be an upper and lower plug but as i am on my back with little clearance cannot find it

My Captiva (07) automatic transmission has a dipstick - located on top of transmission at the front, adjacent the front engine mount. Accessible from under the hood, held in by a 12mm bolt.

Dipstick has cold and hot levels marked.

No hoist required, check with engine off.

Can be filled via this hole, use a funnel and hose of suitable diameter.

Some disappointing advice on this issue (i.e. bad advice and totally incorrect) hence my post - hope this assists. Cheers Craig.
