I've checked it and it seems to me to be too full. The level comes right past the uppermost mark and up to the top of the measuring part of the dipstick. The dealer does not seem to think this is the end of the world and the soonest he can look at the car is 14 September.

Meanwhile, I am concerned about my transmission:

Full load upshifts from 1st to 2nd are noticeably jerky. These used to be slurred just so.

Downshifts from 3rd to 2nd are jerky, too.

Often the transmission seems hesitant or reluctant to change.

There is no slippage at any time.

Changes at less than full load and between other ranges are generally OK.

Any ideas?
