Klaus - Thanks for the input. I understand about how the fluid expands it makes total sense. Technically I removed the same amount that I put back in, I was just more so curious if anybody has ever gotten an accurate reading off the plastic ATF dipstick? I read somewhere once if the car is dead cold (no driving for 10+ hours) if you pull the dipstick with engine off, that will also be an accurate cold fluid level reading. Any thoughts?
