Ok everybody, there isnt much help with the auto transmission oil change. So i decided to put some pics and some help for novices like me. I used those 1/2 torque bars since my regular small one wouldnt turn the bolt. I used honda ATF, run me around 16-17 bucks for 4 quarts. Here are the pics:
You can see the torque bar i used, i think its with the 3/8 extention piece that goes in to the drain plug. You have to jack up the front passenger side to get access to this area, you do not need to take off the tire.

Picture of dipstick, which i loosened to clear any vacuum build up.

Picture of the plug cleaned. Make sure you clean the plug since it may have alot of metal filings. I cleaned it up, as no more ATF drained out, i put it back on.

Put NEW ATF fluid the nice PINK stuff, checked dipstick and was good to go!
