Changing the transmission fluid on a 07 Escape

My friends car is a 07 Escape and it needs the transmission fluid to be changed. Underneath I do see 2 drain plugs (not the oil drain plug, I know that one) Which drain plug is for the transmission? Does anyone know which drain plug is for the transmission?

If it is like most transmissions (admittadly I haven't checked under my escape... that maintenance is a ways off) they rarely seem to put drain plugs on them anymore, I'd be surprised if it had one...

^^I'm with Matt. Plus mine only has like 1,100 miles so I haven't crawled under it yet either. It is nice and clean under there though.

Is the Escape AWD? If so, one of those drain plugs might be the transfer case. Most likely the rearmost.

Yes it is AWD, and how much fluid does the transmission take?
