hey so i have just been doing some checks on all the fluids and oils in my vp v6, but am not 100% sure the correct way to check engine and transmission oil. i went for a small drive to get the heat up to normal operating temperature, then with the car running at idle, i checked the engine oil, and it sat just below the maximum mark, then i checked the transmission oil and it was sitting just below the minimum mark. i then turned the car off and re-checked the oils and with the car turned off, the engine oil was a tad ABOVE the maximum mark, and the transmission oil sat just below the MAXIMUM mark. which readings do i believe? should i add a bit or drain a bit of engine oil? and should i add just a little bit or should i add alot of transmission oil? cheers for any feedback :thumbsup:
