"doing" the diff oil change would be the same. As for the A/T...

On most AT's there is no drain plug (bolt). So... with an A/T you have to remove all the little bolts around the AT pan, then the tranny oil spills out, over the sides of the pan. Kind of messy. Inside the AT valve body is a filter that you should also replace. Then you will need new AT oil.

But when I look up the AT oil pan... there looks to be an AT oil dran! So you might take a look under your car. There doesn't appear to be a AT valve body oil filter either. weird.
