'04 XC 90 - Sealed ATF System? XC90 2004

I have a 2004 XC 90 FWD 5-cyl turbo with 205K+ miles on it. I plan to replace this vehicle next year and am taking some PM steps to ensure that it's in the best operating order before I hand it down to my son.

One step I thought I'd take was to change the ATF. I noted on the ipd site that they had an AT flush kit that passed all the fitment for my vehicle.

Problem is, I cannot, for the life of me, find the ATF dip stick, which is where you are instructed to re-fill the ATF during the flush.

I had read that the XC 90 was a "sealed" system, but also saw several opposing posts that indicated otherwise.

I am suspecting that my system is one of the sealed variety and I may soon discover how good ipd's "guaranteed fitment" return policy is.

Can anyone confirm that the 2004s were, in fact, sealed "for life"?

Here is the link to flush kit: http://www.ipdusa.com/products/4808/107945-automatic-transmission-flush-hose-kit

Thanks.
