It is NOT uncommon for a dealer/independent shop to top these off with transmission fluid. This is why it important to check it, especially if you are not the first owner and don’t know the service history.
This service goes for in the $130 range at the dealer and a couple bucks less at an independent shop. You can do it for less then half of that, this includes buying the tools shown and the fluid.
It is recommended that this fluid be changed every 50k miles.
Also, a 3/8″ bit should not be used. It is 10mm.
