The difference between MAX and MIN volume is 0.3 liters. Check the oil temperature in the transmission.

At room temperature (+20 °C) the oil level is near the MIN marking 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:

Carry out the check at an oil temperature of +80 °C. Go to car communication function group 4. Select the digital display parameter. Select the parameter for the transmission oil temperature.
