Then capping the unneeded fitting once filled.

Just guessing form other funky automatics I've heard of and seen lately.

I'd go to the dealer and see if you can talk to a mechanic on the side....
See what they are doing.

I think thats my only option, really. I'm waiting for obd2 scanner maybe that will give me an idea of what is happening - if any errors etc.

PS: I meant 7k km maintenance as in engine oil, check plugs, filters etc not just transmission
