I use the stubby 10mm allen wrench that comes in the factory tool kit. Put the jack lever (breaker bar) on it for leverage. If you don't get the middle hole open, you are just guessing the fluid level. There is no over-flow that I'm aware of.
Perhaps you could find the exact transmission fluid capacity in the manual and just add that much!
P.S.- Use only GL-4 gear fluid in the tranny!

There is a vent on the shift tower. As for capacity, all you have to do is read the freaking manual. Now to answer your question, 2 qts.

Your Going to want and buy a wrench. What's going to happen, if the transmission is leaking and you drive 3000 miles, with out checking fluid levels. Somethings going to break.

Even if you don't work on your vehicle I would recommend you get familiar with it. That time of the month Jim.

Mine was yesterday nothing went right.
