RE: proper oil level check

I think we’ll all agree that the auto box fluid level is checked hot, with the engine in idle (after running the P-R-N-D-3-2 course and back again) on level ground; the level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. MB says not to use a paper towel or cloth rag, it will contaminate the fluid; I use an old chamois.
