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.
