Default S-Type 2000 Auto Trans. Question

Greetings from sunny Florida and Happy Thanksgiving to all; my question is very simple I think, my s-type doesn't have the oil dipstick for the transmission and jaguar claims that the transmission is sealed and a refill is only required in case of a leak... My other car is a E46 manual and BMW claims the same, to me is a silly statement since I replace my transmission oil every 35k without problems. There is any way to check the transmission oil in my jag and drain it or replace it?, I don't feel comfortable with the fact that my car is 75K running with the same oil...
I really appreciate your comments and thanks in advance...

It can be done, as John says you will need ten posts before you can see attachements etc.
You're half way there.

It's a Ford. Drain from plug. Remove cover and filter. Install new filter and replace cover with new filter . Torque bolts. Put drain plug back in and the trans has a fill plug on upper right back side. It should take what ever drained out which might be about five and a half quarts . You can check for proper fill if you can jack the whole car up level and run it till the fluid is warmed up and losen the drain plug until a little drip of fluid is only draining out. Mercon V is the fluid. And it is sold everywhere "Cheap" Or have a foreign car garage do it for you and tell them to buy the stuff at $1.47 a quart from Napa Auto Suply. It is not good for life. Unless you want it to have a short one. Make sure the fluid is not dark or you may be wasting your time.
