I have almost no experience maintaining an automatic transmission but now I own one and I’m not sure how to check the fluid level. The owner’s manual is no help because it just says you should never need to change the fluid.
When I pull the dipstick on a cold stopped engine the fluid level is about an inch above the HOT marks. When I started it and checked again with the engine running it was about a half inch below the COLD marks. Is my ATF too low or too high? What’s the correct procedure for checking the fluid level on this transmission?
