2013 ML350 SUV Transmission service help, fluids etc..

Hi guys, I have a 2013 ML 350. It’s due for the transmission service and I will be doing the work. Removing the drain plug off of the pan, removing the pan and filter and gasket is not a problem. My question is has anyone done the service and pumped new fluid back into the transmission by using the drain plug in the pan? What is the fluid blue or red? I’m assuming a TF 134 is appropriate but I’m not 100% sure about that. I’m looking at extraction pumps and ATF filler pumps. Anyone have suggestions for me? Any help would be great! Thank you anthony
