I bought the dip stick tool for my 2002 e320 but nobody seems to know how to read the fluid level. Is there a standard measurement for each model? The dipstick goes in all but 8 inches and the fluid is just barely on the tip. how do I know when it is at the proper level. 100's of people sell the tool but nobody seems to know how to read it.

2002 SL500, 216 CL500, all fully loaded
At 80c it should be between the 2 upper marks

Go for a 10 minute drive, come back, with the engine running and gearbox in park dip it then. It should be midway between the upper two marks.
