Hi.

Yes but there may be a inline filter also should be serviced also. Here is the procedure for servicing the transmission. With the vehicle in neutral, position it on a hoist.. Remove the transmission fluid drain plug and allow the fluid to drain.Remove the transmission fluid pan and gasket. Remove the transmission fluid filter.Carefully remove the transmission fluid filter seal. Damage to the seal bore will cause transmission failure. Inspect the transmission fluid bore for the transmission fluid seal. If the seal is in the bore, carefully remove the seal. Prior to installing the transmission filter, make sure that the old fluid filter Seal has been removed.

Install a new fluid filter and seal assembly.Tighten all the transmission fluid pan bolts in a crisscross pattern. Install the fluid pan gasket and fluid pan.Tighten to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.).3. Install the transmission fluid pan drain plug.Tighten to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.).
Caution: The use of any other transmission fluid than specified can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or transmission failure.Fill the transmission. Add 7.0 liters (7.5 quarts) of clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission through the fluid filler tube.Start the engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.

With the vehicle in neutral, engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66 - 77°C (150 - 170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level, and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24 liter (0.5 pint) until the correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator). I'm attaching transmission schematics below for you to reference. Please let us know if this was helpful or if you need additional information.

Thank you
