Default 2014 CX-5 2.5L FWD Grand touring

Hello All,
I'm new to the forum and purchased a used Mazda CX-5 with 130k on it. Runs great but I'm going through everything just to make sure it's all up to date on maintenance. I'm at the point where I'm under the vehicle looking at the transaxle to determine where the drain and fill ports are. None are obvious. From research on my VIN it's an Aisin FW6A‑EL but I can't find a schematic online for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dune

For anyone ever interested, My Mazda is a FWD 2.5L GT. So, what I've found is that this particular model and setup has a transmission and transaxle combined in the same box. They share the same Mazda ATF-FZ fluid. And, you have to take the battery and box, air box and connected harnesses out to get to the fill port. In the end, not that bad.
