Checking Transmission Oil Level: Preparations
The difference between MAX and MIN volume is 0.5 liters. Check oil temperature in transmission.
At room temperature (+20°C) the oil level is near the MIN mark on the "cold area".
At room temperature (+20°C) and low oil level the oil barely reaches the dipstick.
The "cold range" (+40°C) is reached after approximately 15 minutes idling in the workshop, while the "hot range" (+80°C) is reached after approximately 30 minutes highway driving at an air temperature above +15°C.
NOTE:
The check should be carried out at an oil temperature of +80°C.
