It's a total pain in the A**. i can give you just a quick summary. you need to get it to optimal temp. drain it and fill it up again. change gears 20 times going from park to D and back to park. drain it and fill it up etc.. repeat this a few times. then on the last fill up you have to short two of the obd2 pins for the car to display if the temp is correct for the fill up. once the temp is just right you can fill up the trans. you then open up the drain bolt. you'll see fluid coming out. once you have a small steady stream you can close the bolt back up. honestly I Would take it to someone who has done it before or to the dealership. I didn't do it my self but i watched the shop do it.

Can confirm....major pain, time consuming.....worth it to pay someone.

Can a couple people give some cost figures on about how much it ran them to get the service done? I've heard a lot of different costs that are way different from each other.
