That's because the video on step 3 is of a Toyota Sienna. Only the video in step 1 is a ES350, the rest are different cars.
There is no dipstick in the ES350 for the transmission fluid.

Yes I saw Toyota sign but the title said ES350 that's what confused me. I even checked my car and couldn't find the dipstick.

I've flushed our ATF twice and can confirm there is no dip stick in the ES350 line. Same with my 07 Tacoma. To check the ATF level, you remove the drain plug in the trany pan when the ATF reaches 104-113 degrees. If no fluid comes out, add half a quart and check again. When done add 200 ml ATF. Car must be level when you do this.

Yes I used that thread as guidance for my mechanic, although he knew what he is doing. I kept the car running.......does the temp has to be between 104-133 or it can be higher than that as I drove for an hour almost 45 miles before I reached him he checked the level and filled it.

My bad, it should be 104-113, not 133. I edited my thread. But, yes, the temp needs to be in that range. ATF expands as it warms up. If you check the temp below 104 and add ATF because none came out when you removed the plug, you will be adding too much ATF in the trany. Conversely, if you check the temp at 114 and let it drain out till it stops, you will have removed too much ATF. In your case, after driving an hour, the ATF temp would have been at it's average operating temp, about 180-190 degrees. If no ATF came out when you opened the drain plug, the trany was way low on ATF. If you filled it till it started trickling out, you will still be low because most of the ATF fluid will be in expanded state from being at 180 degrees. The temp needs to be checked again at 105.
