There is no dipstick, and it requires special fluid, and the use of 5051 scanner. Why do you ask?

I drained the oil from the hex plug on the bottom of the transmission(?) and I'm not sure if it is engine oil (feels like it) or transmission fluid(no odor).

Engine oil plug is a 19mm and trans plug is a 5mm Allen.
Maybe I'm too simple for this, but check your engine oil with the dipstick. If you're out of engine oil, you know what you got out of your car. If your low on oil but want to double check, fill oil and it should come of the hex plug hole. After that you could start worrying how to fill your transmission.
