Check level / top off transmission fluid
#11
2013 Audi S4 oil fill or transmission plug?
I've read a considerable amount regarding the pros/cons of flushing the transmission, and I'm not sure I want to do a full flush given the potential risks. However, I am interested in checking the level of the fluid and adding more if necessary.
Is there an easier way to simply check the level than just pumping until it overflows (using the process documented on audipages)? Some kind of DIY dipstick-type device that can go in through the fill plug and check it? In case I figure out something with a custom dipstick, does anyone have any insight into the normal fluid level (i.e. if I determine the fluid level is about 1 cm below the top of the stand pipe, does that mean I should definitely go through the process of adding more or would that be considered normal)?
