Hi Guys,
Changed the oil in my gearbox. Drained from both the regular drain plug and also via the overdrive large nut. I let it drain for about 30 mins to ensure all fluid was out.
Since the book calls for 3.8 quarts, I installed 3.5 and then checked the dipstick. The fluid was above the High mark line.
So I drove the car for awhile, thinking the fluid would go a bit lower once settled.
When I checked the fluid line again, it still sits above the High mark on the stick.
Two questions: Any reason why I am not able to fill with 3.8 qts and only be at the High mark?
Also, do I need to drain some fluid now, or is it ok to run above the High mark? What will happen with too much fluid?
As always, thanks for your help!
