checking fluid level
Quick question, We took a drive yesterday about 75 miles one way. I pulled off after 25 miles to recheck the trans fluid. I pulled into a gas station parked and left the engine running when I looked at the level it was showing only up to the top of the C on the stick so I added a small amount of fluid.
This morning I checked it again cold, have not even started the engine. The fluid level at this point is at the very top of the dimpled part where the plastic and metal meet.
That tells me when I checked it and added fluid it really didn't need fluid, wondering why it showed low on the stick?
Any help is really appreciated.
I'm going to remove some fluid while still cold before I drive it today.
