5. Remove the dipstick again. The normal level of the working fluid corresponds to the range between the marks on the dipstick (Fig. 1.183.
Scale A – for hot working fluid.
After driving the vehicle, when the working fluid has reached normal operating temperature (about 65°C), the working fluid level should be between the upper and lower marks on the left side of the dipstick.
Scale B – for cold working fluid.
If the engine has not been running and the ambient temperature is around 20°C, the fluid level should be between the upper and lower marks on the right side of the dipstick.
Insert the dipstick all the way in. When adding working fluid, check its level on the dipstick so as not to overfill it above the maximum level.
Note: Check the working fluid level using the marks on both sides of the dipstick. To avoid errors, check the level using the dipstick in a well-lit area.
