Go buy a siphon pump. Not only can you pump new fluid in with it, but you can also suck the old fluid out as well...

There's a fill plug on the side. Unscrew it and pump the oil in. A pump wouldn't cost much more than 10$ I'm sure. Or take the shifter off and dump a gallon in there. Done.

Remove your shifter and and the fill plug. Start filling the fluid from the shifter area and once it spills out of the fill plug your done. A lot easy that way.

Yes but you dont want to overfill it. That is the purpose of removing the fill plug. You just fill it until it starts to come out of the fill hole. Make sure youre on flat ground though. You dont want to overfill or underfill. Its so simple and not to mention easy to get to i dont see why there would be a problem removing it. Its on the drivers side and all you need is a 3/8" extension. Hope this helps.
