W222 725 9G transmission service

Hi Team,
I know this has been spoken about bbefore, but I've only seen it done on a s550.
I Have some questions.
1) Can I use xentry to figure out if enough is in there when I refill?
2) Any details on temps of fluid? For example, my Indy told me he can't have it above 104f or the fluid is inaccurate when he fills it.
3) torque converter, I see in Wis it can be exposed by turning the crank,

I am planning a drain and fill, drain TQ, replace with new bolts and pan.
Just want to make sure I get it right with the correct oil level on refill.
thanks

Thank you.
I got all the parts, the correct oil from the dealer and the pan, tube guide special tool to turn the positions and sensor, bolts.
I'm going to use a client's shop to do this.
I appreciate the assist.

Any thoughts on the differential oil?
can the front even be gotten to without removing the axle?
Any seals or gaskets I need to know about?

I used Valvoline Synthetic 75/90, the front only has a drain, like the trans you also fill it through there. I was able to use an adaptor from a drill drive pump I have, measure the capacity out and fill. Nothing super special from what I remember.
