[C38] transmission oil change

[David Stoltz]

Hi Dick,
Thanks again for your reply. Regarding the dip stick, it's kind of odd because it only has one line on it and it's very close to the bottom. It seems the oil level should be kept at that line
being that there is no other reference on the stick and that's where it was before removing the old oil.
Thanks again,
David
