Tech Question - Checking Final Drive and Transmission fluid

Post by pjbmw »

Quick question- Do you check the Final drive and transmission fluid levels cold or after a warm up?

After they're warmed up...

Best to check 'em after they are fully warmed up, IMHO.

Cheers!

The levels should not matter - there is enough of a safety factor with the ammount of oil warm or cold - just be consistant - always check them either warm or cold.
