Question Automatic Spark Transmission fluid change

Hi All.

just got used Spark 2016 gas Automatic car with 103,000 km, unfortunately i don't have car history (probably was handled by personal garage).

from what i read that the Transmission box is sensitive and the fluid needs to be change every 72,000km but i don't know if the fluid has been EVER replaced.

just contact for several garage (including official chevrolet local garage agencies) but got several different answers.

the car drives without problems and i afraid to harm Transmission box with wrong procedure.

any advise from experts?
TNX.

Hi.
So unfortunately the "check engine" orange light turned on 😞 after few days

the obd2 show error p0841 & p0700

The car drive without any problems and not transmission glitches or knocking...

I plan to check the fluid level in the next days.

My question is what is preferred to do now...

1. if there is missing fluid? Should i replace the whole transmission fluid oil OR just refill until the correct level?

2. also if missing or not, is it recommended to replace the whole fluid with "half replace" procedure?

it is seams like there is no clear answer and I just want to hear another perspectives

tnx
