Jul 13, 2017 (Edited) I realize it is a closed system. But is there anyway to check the transmission fluid level. I unscrewed the cap which under the hood and the reservoir looks empty, should I be able to see transmission fluid? Vehicle is an Automatic Trans

Shouldn't there be a dipstick? I thought auto's always had one. Mine is manual so don't have anything to go off of. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Joined Jun 12, 2017 路 6 Posts

No dipstick, and not common since 5-speed ATs left market. The check procedure involves getting the trans fluid up to 185F, car level, running in Park, and the fluid check plug removed. If filled correctly, fluid will dribble out. If you don't have leaking cooler lines, your fluid level is probably OK. Basically this: Joined Jun 12, 2017 路 6 Posts

Its 185F-203F actually... Joined Jul 27, 2016 路 21 Posts
I can't ever seem to get the tranny up to the required temp and I'm in sunny CA. Always measure exactly what comes out, but has me a little worried. So far so good though, no funky sounds or acting up on the '12 Joined Aug 25, 2014 路 269 Posts
I only got mine up to 176F, but did some calcs. The volumetric difference between 176 and 200F is only about 1.8 fluid ounces. I would say thats close enough.. In other words at 176F you have 1.8 fluid ounces (water equivilent) extra fluid in there than if you did the fill at 200F. Joined Feb 25, 2011 路 1,383 Posts

volume expansion vs. temperature? Is there published data for volume vs. temperature for ATF fluid? Joined Aug 25, 2014 路 269 Posts
Yes there is.. In fact all light oils have a very similar volumetric expansion.. If you Google you will find.. It comes as a rate of relative expansion per degree C. If you changed your ATF cold the difference is like over half a qt. But the last 10 deg C is minimal. Why is there no transmission fluid on dipstick?If you have a late-model car, it may not have a dipstick for checking the transmission fluid. Not only does this make it difficult to check fluid level and condition, it also eliminates the dipstick tube or opening through that fluid is normally added to an automatic transmission.
