Transmission Fluid Check

[lexlover1]

Just wondered if anyone can tell me the proper way to check the transmission fluid in the 95ls. Manual doesn't say anything about checking the transmission fluid. I know there is a cold and hot marking on the stick. As far as I can figure the cold is just a reference mark. Is it best to leave it running at operating temperature and check in park? I find it really hard to get consistent readings, one side of the stick reads different than the other. I do realize it holds 8.2 liters empty. Flushed mine and added around 8.5 liters and seems to be as close as I can get to between the high and low levels at operating temperature. All advice is appreciated.

Running, operating temp, shift slowly from park thru all gears ending back in park. Remove, wipe off and reinset the dipstick 5 times before attempting to read it. Level should be WITHIN the Hot range. "Operating Temp" = car has been driven at least 15 minutes

I have a 90 LS and find it almost imposible to read the dip stick. The fluid seems to get all over the cable and indicators as its put in and out. Not a good bit of design work. Good luck getting the level OK.
