This temperature is reached after driving for about 30 minutes. At oil temperature above +195°F (+90°C), the level may be above the MAX mark. NOTE: The engine should be idling when checking transmission fluid level. Check the oil level as follows: Park the car on level surface with the engine idling. Slowly move the selector lever through all the gear positions and then to position P. Wait 2 minutes before checking the oil level. As the illustration shows, the dipstick has a "Cold" and a "Warm" side. The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. CAUTION! The oil may be very hot! Do not use rags that could leave lint on the dipstick. The transmission is topped up via the dipstick tube. The space between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick corresponds to 0.5 US qt. (0.5 liter). Do not Fill the transmission with too much oil, since this can result in oil being ejected from the transmission. Too little oil, on the other hand, can negatively affect transmission operation, particularly in very cold weather. pg. 106 Brake and clutch fluid, Power steering fluid Brake and clutch fluid (Note that some models have a clutch controlled by a cable.)
