Hmm, I was checking the ATF level today as it was flushed yesterday.
The new ATF looks very clear on the dip stick with only a fine red tinge to it and its hard to read the level.
Anyhow, I had it idling in neutral on a flat surface after a run and it was showing at only the min level, so I thought it was low, but I left it idling for a few minutes and then it showed a little over the max level! Looked like 4 or 5 mm over. Did this several times to be sure.
It seems the ATF needs to settle for a few minutes before the reading can be made. Luckily I checked it again otherwise I was about to add some.
I dont think a few mm over will cause any problems.
