Transmission Oil Level Frustratingly Difficult to Obtain Accurate Reading-Stupid or what? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Volvo United on  Fri Sep 27 00:38 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Can anyone offer any advice as to the best method to use when attempting to obtain an accurate oil level reading from the transmission. I know some of you will think this is a joke but I'm honestly finding it difficult!

I complete the standard process of running through each gear and letting the car tickover for 2 min's but seem to get two different readings on each side of the hot/cold dipstick. They should be the same, surely!. Is there any particular way the hot side or cold side should be inserted into the gearbox? Should I turn the dipstick as its inserted to coat both sides with oil?

Thanks for your advice....
