Warm, running and in park.What is the procedure to check the automatic transmission oil. Is it in neutral when checking the transmission fluid.
There’s no “hot” mark, at least not on the transmission dipstick of my ‘57. (I’m not the OP, just chiming in.) Am I missing/misunderstanding something?Drive the car until it runs at normal temperature.
Stop the car with the engine at idle. Use PARK and hand brake.
Check the oil. Wipe it clean with a very clean microfiber cloth. Insert again (still at idle) and remove
Read the level. Must be above the HOT mark and just below the top mark.
Nope, Mine is the same with a stamped L line and a stamped F line. And stamped transmission Check at engine idle.There’s no “hot” mark, at least not on the transmission dipstick of my ‘57. (I’m not the OP, just chiming in.) Am I missing/misunderstanding something?
