To check the level you do need to jack the car up, remove a wheel, remove the level control bolt. Fill thru the vent plug top Driver side.

To drain you need to remove the pan.

Search tool will get you lots of help.

At 170,000 I would at least change it and the filter, but then that would be 3 years for my car. Some shops will not do a flush over 100,000 miles.
