Just let a shop do a fluid exchange for you.

It's impossible to say from here. It will take some diagnosis. That starts with reading the codes.

I have no idea what a highlo is. The codes for both engine and transmission are read together from one connector.

It fills through the transmission dipstick tube.

Parts store scanners usually cannot read transmission codes.
