I just did a transmission fluid flush last night - super easy and straight forward. I removed exactly 8 quarts of fluid, and replaced it with exactly 8 quarts. I have a 1996 850 Turbo Sedan and I don't know if I just have too much transmission fluid in my car, or if anybody else finds the dipstick on these cars incredibly hard to read? I have done the readings exactly as instructed in the Volvo manual from my glove box, both cold setting (taking reading after shifting gears and waiting 10 mins) and also hot reading (after driving the car for about 45 mins straight, shifting and waiting 3 minutes). The fluid level seems to be way over the max hot lines no matter if it is hot or cold. Is anybody else ever able to get an accurate reading off this dispstick? Any tips for me? I am thinking I must have too much transmission fluid in the car, but it shifts strong with no leaks, even smoother after the flush last night. I just want to make sure I am not hurting the transmission by having too much fluid in there. Thanks for any feedback in advance! (used Redline Synthetic fluid from FCP Groton)
