2002 Vue 3.0L V6 AWD automatic transmission fluid

Does anyone seem to know where the place to check your auto transmission fluid is in a 2002 saturn vue v6? The car has 190,000 miles on it and i'm pretty sure the fluid has never been changed. I've looked forever and no luck. Please help.

While searching for information regarding the transmission for your VUE I found a schematic breakdown of it. The filter is mounted within the transmission case and is thus non-replaceable unless the transmission is removed for repair work. This is not uncommon amongst various Japanese transmissions. It's true of my wife's '04 Acura MDX (also w/AWD). The only thing to be changed is the transmisson fluid and in some cases the amount is seemingly minimal: seven quarts on my LS1, but only three quarts on the MDX. Acquiring an aftermarket manual such as Chilton or Haynes can be very useful. You may avail yourself of an online manual such as http://alldatadiy.com/ for a subscription fee. Once purchased these reference items effectively "pay for themselves" each time they're needed. In my opinion, owning one of these manuals, or obtaining a subscription is a must for any DIYer.

Scroll down to page 3 and look for item no. 450 in the link below.
