What's the secret checking auto fluid level??
How exactly should you take a reading of oil level in autobox?
I thought it was engine running in park (having gone into reverse and drive for a few seconds each)?
- level should then be on min mark at 20-30c??......well thats the theory
Whenever I dip the autobox using above technique there is never a clear reading on the stick, just fluid up the edges?
What am I doing wrong? :?:
i always put the TC in neutral and auto box in 4th gear for 15 mintues then check but I find oil only one side of the dipstick.
I have the same problem: and with new fluid it was impossible to see the level - so whats the solution?
On mine the oil should be at 80C at 10-20c the level should be 30 mm lower. But that would be different for other g/boxes.
When you insert the dipstick to check leave it in there for 10 s or longer to allow the fluid to cover it. I never have any trouble reading it if I do that. Ideal time is after a long run.
