ok thanks

take it that would be on max mark when cold???

just i was confused after reading to maybe do it hot as checking Hot you are certain of the Maximum level the fluid rises, hence avoiding overfilling and blowing seals etc

I think it's on automatics that you need to check levels with the fluid warm. What does it say in the manual? I ask as I don't have a manual in English!
