I used a fancier plan:
1. Drain
2. Break drainplug by over-torquing, run to FLAPS for replacement
3. Fill, get fluid dripping down my wrists and elbows
4. Replace fill plug, clean up spilt fluid, and done!
I think problem is I had a cheap fluid transfer pump with no hook on the end so I had to hold the tube with one hand and work the pump with the other.

Haha okay thanks guys I figured it was a simple drain and fill but wasn't sure if they'd made it a sealed tranny or not. So is the overall opinion to go with a mixed weight of redline? 72.5w90?

No. I used Pentosin MTF2 @ 150.3k miles. I have 171k now and can say I'm pleased. Most don't do the half/half mix.
