Default tranny drain plug

Hi, i am going to drain my tranny and refill with mobil 3309 ATF , where is the drain plug located ?
also i guess you fill it up through the dipstick, any ideas on what works well would be appreciated.

Once you climb under the car you really can't miss it.
It points towards the engine.
The wrench you will need is a 15/16 or equivelent in Metric.

I am almost scared to post this (after all the problems with tranny fluids that are suitable for volvo's of late but any way here goes).

I can not find mobil JWS 3309. or in Australia its called ATF 3309, unless i get it from volvo, after i take out a 2nd mortgage to buy the stuff...
I called mobil Australia, they told me that Toyota T4 fluid is the same...
I called the Toyota dealer they have it $26.95 for a four litre bottle...
can i use this stuff.....is it safe..
