Transmission problem
2002 Kia Sedona 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I was reading through my owners manual on the 2002 Kia sedona I just bought. According to the owners manual when it comes to changing out the transmission fluid, you just need to remove the drain plug, drain out the old fluid and replace with new. It gives the type that should be used and the amount that should be put in. So according to the owners manual a drop of the pan either is not needed or can't be done on this type of mini van and a suck system/drain isn't needed. So should I just take it to my mechanic, have him just do a drain and fill?
