Default Transmission maintenance

Bought an 2000 S70SE (non Turbo) and would like to either drain/replace the transmission fluid or flush it. I have flushed a 2002 S60 (5 speed auto)successfully.
Issues:
The 2000 S70 has no dip stick. How do you insure you filled it to the right level?
Where do you fill it? (never had a car w/o a dip stick!)
The owner's manual says to change the trans fluid if you tow so there must be a proceedure.
Whats the best way to determine the type of transmission I have?

Thanks

I jus had that done about 3 months ago. You have a dip stick, it should be underneath the airfilter to the left almost all the way down with a yellow handle. I used 14 qts of Valvoline. I have a GLT/SE non turbo. It doesnt have a filter though.
