    Two questions...

    1. How would I go through all the gears while parked?

    2. Can I do it without leaving it running? that feels not so safe.

    Thanks

    Nevermind, I found the page in the tech manual. (7A–10)

    you were right on the money with how to do it.

    1. Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake firmly.

    2. Check fluid level with engine running at idle.
    NOTE: Be sure that transmission fluid temperature is below 30C (86F).

    3. Move the selector lever through all gear ranges.

    4. Move the selector lever to “Park”.

    5. Let engine idle for 3 minutes and open the overfill screw (1).

    6. Add released transmission fluid until it flows out over the overfill screw opening.

    7. Let engine idle until a fluid temperature between 32C (90F) and 57C (135F) is reached, then close the overfill screw (1).
    Torque: 38 N•m (28 lb ft)

    NOTE: To prevent fluid leaks, the overfill screw and oil drain screws gasket must be replaced each time these screws are removed.
