How to check transmission fluid level on 2020 Express with no dipstick.

Hey guys I'm new here.
I was trying to find this info on the net but could not.
So here is a link on how to check your transmission fluid;

I also discovered that B&M makes a locking dipstick conversion for the 8 and 10 speed transmission.

On my 15 Chevy Malibu, there is a plug on the driver's side of the transmission to check the fluid level. It's likely the same for your van.

Your video does not work BTW.

I assuming your 2020 van has a 4.3L V6 or the Duramax option either way having the 8L90E transmission which I don't believe uses a dipstick in any application. Is this the case? The 6.6L V8 gas engines used in the 2020 Express list the same 6L90E trans used for a decade and should still have a dipstick.
