How do you check/change the transmission fluid on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma with automatic? There is not a dipstick or filler tube. How does a shade tree mechanic navigate around this hurdle?

Who thought this was a better idea than having a dipstick and filler tube?  


@john-drake I think it was the manufacturer's idea, who want to project the image that their cars are "low maintenance" in order to sell more of them.
