To check the level on a vehicle that has a transmission dipstick (dipstick handle usually red in color, which is the color of the transmission fluid itself when new), after a long drive with the engine and transmission good and hot, park the vehicle while idling the engine. Apply the parking brake and pull the dipstick out. Dry all oil from the dipstick with a paper towel and reinsert the dipstick. Remove the dipstick once again to verify that the fluid level is between the "fill" and "full" marks. Any where between fill and full is ok and it's very easy to overfill an automatic transmission because the level may appear to be low when it really isn't. So take several measurements to make sure it needs fluid if it reads low. You'll need a special transmission filler funnel from the auto store which has a very narrow fill neck. Finally, transmission service is scheduled typically every 30,000 miles by your manufacturer and you should definitely have it done to protect your power train warranty and the service life of your transmission (cost: $150 for a full flush) There is no "transmission antifreeze", and you should only add the manufacturer's specified transmission fluid in my opinion (if needed).
