Not sure the answer to that, im guessing what ever the recall says. You could always check to see how full it is. To get the trans up to temp it takes almost 5 mins, on a lift you have to put it in gear power break it up to like 1500 rpm not slipping the wheels hold for like 5 seconds then release, do this a few times then put it in neutral rev it a bit to circulate the fluid from the torque converter and keep doing this to get it up to temp. One reason for this is to warm the fluid the other is to open the bypass in the trans cooling system. Then you could pull the plug at the bottom and see if its overfilled. The plug is in the bottom of a tube so the top of the tube is the full level, basically drain till it quits draining.
To drain the trans you have to pull the pan entirely, but the gasket is reusable, its a bit messy, you need a large pan at minimum to catch the fluid, my tech unloosened the front first letting it drain for a while then the rest.
To Refill you install the pan back and have to pump the fluid up thru the drain plug tube. They had a nice battery powered pump but you can also do it with any fluid transfer pump.
