[QUOTE="Todd Thorne, post: 1019327, member: 67323"] The tranny dip stick can be hard to read, make sure you are in a well lighted area. Make sure stick is dry when you put it in, seat the stick and pull out right away. Usually on one side of the stick there is a line indicating fluid level, the other side will not have a clear line. Hold the stick one an angle with light reflecting on it to see better, Tranny fluid is not as dark as motor oil, and it can be tough to read. I usually take 2 or 3 readings to be sure you get same reading. If there is no line on the stick but oil residue, your oil is low, that was just some oil from the sides of the tube. sorry no pic as I have my wifes car today, it is a standard. good luck, Happy holidays!
