There is no dipstick, it's a sealed transmission, nearly impossible to check yourself. The procedure involves removing a bolt in the transmission housing with the car running in park and dipping your pinky in the hole to see if there is fluid. Take it to transmission shop to be sure, much safer and easier, and most quick lube places won't touch it.

I hope this is helpful to you!
