Anyone have pics of where to drain the 2010 Touring trans fluid?

[LordJezo]

I was under the car looking for a pan of some sort and didn't come across anything. I am not really sure where on this car to be looking so I am hoping someone has some pointers. I don't want to flush it, just a DIY drain and refill, anyone have any pointers or a map for the underside?

I looked through that one, it devolved into a big debate over lifetime transmission fluid and contains one link to a page that no longer has the original diagram.

Sweet.

I have never had a car with a drain plug before on the transmission, this should be exciting.

So is there a filter under the car to change as well? Since it's just a drain plug there must be another access point, normally it's the pan that gets dropped and the filter in that but I see no such thing here.

If there is a filter, you would have to drop the pan and then also replace the main gasket. I will just assume it is a "lifetime" filter. The service manual doesn't mention the need to change the filter at any point to replace the trans fluid. It just says to drain & refill.
