Many automotive manufacturers discontinued providing transmission dipsticks some years ago. This is a ploy to force owners into the dealer service center for the extra charge. The rationals presented to the public go like this.
"The modern transmission is a highly technical machine requiring service by trained professionals. Incorrect fluid level or type may impair or damage the transmission. Most owners do not know the proper way to check the fluid level and may overfill the transmission causing aeration of the fluid and a host of other problems."
I have been coming across vehicles without oil dipsticks as well. Some have an internal sensor that signals the car's computer to send a message to the dealership who then calls the owner to bring the car in for service.
