Q
do you check transmission fluid with engine running
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
To properly check transmission fluid levels, it's important to have the engine running and the vehicle in park (for automatic transmissions) or in neutral (for manual transmissions). This ensures accurate measurement because when the engine is operating, the transmission fluid is circulated throughout the system, providing a true representation of its level. Manufacturers recommend this method as it accounts for fluid expansion due to heating and ensures that all parts are adequately lubricated during the check. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the most accurate procedure, as some models may have specific requirements. Remember to allow the engine to warm up to its normal operating temperature before checking to ensure the most accurate reading. Safety is paramount, so ensure the vehicle is on level ground to avoid accidents.
