Post Transmission fluid check

Anyone found a way to check the oil on the 2019 10 speed transmission on the RDX Aspec yet?

What do you want to check? There is no dipstick for ATF level. If you really want to check the level, there is a plug you would pull on the side of the transmission. But it's unlikely this is necessary before the scheduled ATF change.

Note a metal panel needs to be removed to get access.

Does anyone know if we have low level ATF sensor that will go off in case there is a leak or etc?

The garage floor is a pretty good sensor for leaks.

Sometimes people have very slow leaks that are not always noticeable on the floor unless you keep checking tranny case for fluid. And also, if for some reason it came from factory with low fluid, you would never know until about 60k miles (that’s about time when MID tells you to change it). Low fluid sensor would be very useful in tranny without dipstick.
