Hello All,
A simple question but can anyone tell me how to read the automatic transmission dipstick please ?
The instructions say that at 80C the dipstick should read between levels 5-7, ideally 6. However upon pulling out the dipstick the two sides always show different levels, so not really sure which side to read.
History - I had jacked the front to change the automatic transmission oil, gasket and filter for the 5 year service. Ordered mercedes original kit which comes with and recommends 4 litres of oil. I got around 4.8-4.9 litres out - probably cause it was jacked up (front only). I have put new oil in but having issues as explained above about knowing how to read the dipstick.
Why could it not be as easy as reading the engine oil level !
Thx
