so is the "sticking finger in hole" operation to check level, temperature, or type of metal certain round body parts are made of ?? I would assume that full would mean that as you fill, fluid would run out, and then stop when it can no longer "run" over the lowest edge of the hole,now its full,- correct??? also, i dont have a scan tool, so will my moms candy thermometer, (or equivilant,) work...not sticking the thermometer in there, sticking the turkey baster in there (or syphon) to get some fluid out,put fluid in jar, and check temp. or can you drive a half mile to get to check temp, or will tran fluid warm up along with engine temp. i have to change tran fluid, and would like to do it myself, in two changes. so i want to be doing this right. have read the other post on this also.
thanks in advance
