Without mentioning any names, I have noticed my ATF NEVER gets hot. I pulled a lawnmower on a trailer for 2 hours on the interstate and my ATF was barely warm. I know that's good. BUT...
How do I determine proper fluid level? This vehicle has a dipstick so I can check it. Do I keep it between the "COLD" hashmarks or do I add up to the "HOT" hashmarks? I ain't making this up. As soon as I got back home from the haul, I kept 4Runner running, shifted through all the gears, pulled the dipstick out, wiped it off, reinserted and the reading is slightly above the upper "COLD" marks but no where near the "HOT" range.
