And there's four of these twist retainers. Just take a Philips-head screwdriver and just twist it about a quarter of a turn. And there's another one down here underneath, and two over here as well.

Pull this dipstick out, wipe it off. And there's two areas right here. This is the hash marks where the fluid level should be when it's hot, and when it's cold, should be down here. You can top off the fluid with the appropriate fluid. Get that information from your owner's manual and adjust accordingly.
