Warm Oil Level Check With the engine at operating temperature, place the control lever in neutral and shut down the engine. Wipe the dipstick clean and insert the dipstick fully into the transmission, withdraw, and read the fluid level. Add or remove fluid as necessary to bring the fluid level to the full mark on the dipstick. Replace dipstick and tighten by holding the base and turning the Thandle securely clockwise. Oil level must be checked immediately after engine shut-down to prevent an incorrect reading.
Oil drains back into transmission from the cooler and cooler lines.
Add or remove oil if necessary. Repeat the above checking procedure as required until oil is at the dipstick mark. Cold Oil Level Check. For ease of checking the oil prior to engine startup, a cold oil level mark can be made. To find the cold oil level mark, the oil level must first be set according to the warm oil level checking procedure.
