ATF level of 722.6 transmission

[sokoloff]

I'll be doing a transmission service in a week or so and was curious about the ATF level. I measured mine this morning and here's what I found:

With the engine hot after a 100 mile run, the ATF level is right at the lower 80° mark. With the engine cold and NOT running, the ATF level is about an inch up onto the metal part of the dipstick. With the engine cold and running, the level is just over the top mark of the 25° mark. Garage temp was just under 25°. So that gives me some idea of how much fluid to put in when I do the service. Seems like the 80° and 25° marks on the dipstick are a bit off. There had been a note on here awhile back to only believe the 80° reading and it seems like that's the case with mine.
