pretty easy

drive car to warm up fluid
park car on ramps or jack up
remove drain bolt on trans
let fluid drain out
replace bolt
add just under 3 qts of fluid
lower car and test drive checking for leaks and you're good

if you want to do the 3X3 do the above but add drive 5 miles at the end between the 1 and 2 change and the 2 and 3 change.

okay easy enough. do i have to fill through the dipstick tube or is there a fill hole somewhere?

No there is a fill plug right by the fuse box, its marked ATF you just need a funnel with a hose to reach or a really long funnel.
