Cant see the bolts very clearly....but i agree with VIET, it should say ATF on it...the other bolt just looks like a "ground" location....

PS the ATF bolt will be a bishhhh to break loose....i recommend breaking it loose before draining out the fluid....I was stuck once when the bolt wudnt break loose and i had 3 qts drained out....

Worst comes to worst you can refill through the dipstick tube. Tho it will fill very slowly that way.

Move that fuse box to get to it, when I did mine there was enough play in the wires that I could sit it on top of the mount it is on.

That only applies for 07-08 models.

I jus did this last night

You unbolt the fuse box and if you get a long funnel it will be fine

FYI that bolt is going to be tight as a MOFO. I broke two extensions before I moved up to impact extensions and a breaker bar. It's ridiculous
