It isn't hard to do if that is what you are worried about. Use an OE filter, refill it, warm it up to check the level

One of the reasons it is so expensive is the liability, if the new fluid causes a problem. It isn't due to the complexity of the fluid change

I had to do it to my 3 series. I made up a pressure fluid transfer container out of a chemical spray bottle for your yard...lol. It works great. I hook my compressor up to it at about 10lbs. of pressure and it just flows right into the tranny.
I hope this helps.
