You should better read your manual about how to check the level of your auto-trany. There is nothing odd about your level readings!

Unless you are reading a different manual than I am there is nothing in either my "Owner's Manual 300TD Turbo" or my Haynes Service and Repair Manual that addresses what I was attempting to ask. What I was trying to ask after illustrating what I was doing was, has anyone had similar dipstick readings when following the proper procedure that applies to this transmission as well as probably thousands of others? Repeated checking consistantly shows ATF well above the "high" mark while the other side of the dipstick is within the normal range. To add some type of benchmark, the high reading is about 38mm or 1.5' higher. As I also said, I have checked it previously a couple of times and can now see how someone could be mislead by viewing one side versus the other.

Danny, if you have something in print that my manuals lack regarding this I would certainly appreciate you sharing it with me.
Thanks
