You missed a differential/gear oil check dipstick!! It is located behind the engine at the very middle of it down low. It is approachable from the passenger side of engine bay. Yellow circle tip same as the transmission dipstick opposite engine side from transmission dipstick. Way to check it and markings are the same as other and it should be checked by driver like rest of fluids. Cheers
*For all vehicles with an automatic transmission that have a dipstick: Always check your transmission fluid while the car is in park and at its normal operating temperature.*
*Maybe someone else can use this info since I'm sure you don't need it anymore being that your comment is over a year old presently:* You will need to search for a vehicle specific YT video on how to change the transmission filter. Transmission filters are usually (but not always) pretty easy to get out once you have the transmission pan off. A couple tips if you decide to do it yourself: Make sure the old o-ring or plastic bushing that was on your old filter came off. Sometimes they like to stay with the transmission and you'll have to remove it with a pair of needle nose pliers or any other tool that will remove it. You can compare the new filter with the old one once you have it removed and you will see the new o-ring or bushing and you should be able to see where it goes if it isn't already installed on your filter. Remove the old gasket from the transmission pan and spray of the pan with can of brake cleaner or carb cleaner. After you have the new transmission filter installed, I add just enough petroleum jelly or permatex on the transmission pan to hold the gasket in place while you install all the transmission pan bolts. I highly recommend using a torque wrench and torque each bolt in the cross pattern specific for your vehicle. If you believe you mechanically inclined enough to do it without a torque wrench, *don't tighten the bolts down as hard as you can because this will bend the transmission pan and cause it to leak in multiple areas around the pan and gasket.* Now add the specified type and amount of transmission fluid for your vehicle with a transmission funnel. Start your vehicle and with your foot on the brake, move the shifter through all the gears, pausing for a few seconds between each shift. (This will fill your torque converter with any transmission fluid it lost during the filter change) Now wait for the vehicle to reach it's normal operating temperature and repeat running it through the gears once more. With the vehicle still running and at its normal operating temperature pull the dip stick out and add a little fluid at a time until it reaches the full mark. *Do not overfill the transmission fluid or you will have to buy or borrow a pump to get it back down to the full mark. If you leave too much transmission fluid in the vehicle it can cause the transmission to overheat and run at too high of a pressure which will cause the fluid to foam up causing excessive transmission wear and if you leave it overfilled for too long and it will cause a total transmission failure.* "Oh, your friend Bobby has a cousin that ran his vehicle for months with the transmission fluid over the full mark and never had an issue?" Well, you can trust hearsay of any shade tree mechanic or you could listen to what the engineers recommend that actually designed and helped build the transmission in your vehicle. Too much fluid in your transmission will cause hard shifting or slipping while shifting into a new gear. You can often hear a humming, grinding or whining noises and it will cause leaking to occur. The bottom line is, that over time, you will damage your transmission with the incorrect amount of fluid. Good luck friends!

do you have video of changing Transmission Fluid for the Subaru Tribeca 2012?
I have the same car. Mine sounds like I'm driving over rumble strips sometimes... weird
