Default S-Type 2000 Auto Trans. Question

Greetings from sunny Florida and Happy Thanksgiving to all; my question is very simple I think, my s-type doesn't have the oil dipstick for the transmission and jaguar claims that the transmission is sealed and a refill is only required in case of a leak... My other car is a E46 manual and BMW claims the same, to me is a silly statement since I replace my transmission oil every 35k without problems. There is any way to check the transmission oil in my jag and drain it or replace it?, I don't feel comfortable with the fact that my car is 75K running with the same oil...
I really appreciate your comments and thanks in advance...

You're half way there.

It's a Ford. Drain from plug. Remove cover and filter. Install new filter and replace cover with new filter . Torque bolts. Put drain plug back in and the trans has a fill plug on upper right back side. It should take what ever drained out which might be about five and a half quarts . You can check for proper fill if you can jack the whole car up level and run it till the fluid is warmed up and losen the drain plug until a little drip of fluid is only draining out. Mercon V is the fluid. And it is sold everywhere "Cheap" Or have a foreign car garage do it for you and tell them to buy the stuff at $1.47 a quart from Napa Auto Suply. It is not good for life. Unless you want it to have a short one. Make sure the fluid is not dark or you may be wasting your time.
