Hi, all:

Thank you all for the great advice. Let me ask another dumb question, why can I check the ATF level when the car is parked level and cooled off overnight? I assume all the ATF would be resting at the bottom of the tranny. Wouldn't it be more convenient and accurate to check it rather than when the engining is running and ATF are splashing around ( could be my imagination)? I'm still having hard time to read the dipstick it is still too confusing to me where the real level is.
