Actually you should first loosen the fill plug to make sure you can remove it. Nothing worse then draining all the fluid in the trans and finding out that you can't remove the fill plug because it is rusted in the trans or some PO mangled the fill plug in an attempt to open it without the right tool.

He has an I6 engine, not a V8 so he doesn't have a ZF trans.
