Like the title says. Does anyone ever have a hard time reading it?? I have a very hard time telling rather its full or not. Its just clear enough that its hard to tell where it is at on the dipstick and do you fill it up to the warm level?? or where it says 80
I have no problem with reading my oil :confused:

Yeah, I have a very hard time, especially when its cold. You fill it to the warm level when its warm, and the cold level when its cold. Its easier to fill to the warm level though.
i cant even find my tranny dipstick :o

he has to if he is saying that
SORRY FOR BEING STUPID. but yea i do have a 6spd, so does that mean i dont have one, or is it somewhere in a hidden place? :confused: im all confused now
with a manual tranny, the way to check fluid level is by the filler plug.
goto shoebox's site(shbox.com) and look at the manual for your car and it will tell you the exact instructions.
which i guess means that you dont have a tranny dipstick

Drill a small hole in your dip stick at the Cold and Warm Marks (slightly below), then when you check the level the fluid will fill the hole (I think it's called a meniscus) making it easier to see.
