TRANNY FLUID LEVEL TOO HIGH V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Wed Nov 10 08:45 CST 2021 [RELATED]

Bought the car used 2 years ago. Drained and refilled with same amount with Aisin fluid. Have tried to check the level several ways: with cold engine, with warm engine and cycling thru all the gears as prescribed.
No matter which way I do it it is always about an inch over the full mark = too much fluid? And the dipstick says do not overfill. So obviously the previous owners level was too high.

Am thinking of draining about 1/2 a litre to get it closer to where it should be.

Granted the dipstick is not only hard to get at but difficult to read, as fluid seams to creep up the dipstick when I inset it and then try to get an accurate reading (or is this because its got too much fluid).

Any thoughts.?
