I am in need and I hate to publicly admit I don't know the answer to this basic question. I have been replacing various components on my car since I bought it 2 months ago and I am confused. While I was replacing the rear diffy bearings and drive axels I decided to change the tranny filter and fluid, in both the tranny and converter. I drained and replaced the filter and began filling the tranny with new fluid. My Haynes manual calls for 6.9 qts. fluid with converter drain. I put 6 in and ran the car at idle for approximately 20 minutes, rear end was not yet completed. After 20 minutes I checked and dipstick showed low. I put another .75 qts. in which seemed reasonable and ran another 15 minutes and level was correct. I then 3 days later drove the car about 45 minutes and stopped and checked the fluid level, car still idling, and I was about a quart too much. What gives? Does one bring the tranny up to normal temp and while engine idles check the level? I do not understand what happened. Can some one help me with this one? Thank you in advance.
