Tranny Drain and Fill question
#1
![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I did the drain and refill yesterday on my 97 ES 300.. I drain it plugged it backed up and put in 3.5 qts... I checked the dip stick this morning after the car sat all night and the level was around the HOT mark but not that much but more on the Cold mark
DID i over fill it.. I drained it just like you guys said
Its running fine i just want to make sure that theres not more in the tranny then there supposed to be..I thought of pouring the fluid that i drained back into the qt. bottles to see if i took out what i put in?
Any ideas or I'm i ok
Thanks guys
Tony

BTW.. after i drained all the fluid i tightned the bolt back up and then checked the dip stick while it was still on the ramps and no fluid was on the stick... So, i don't think i overfilled it..

"I checked it with the car off BTW.."
The transmission internal pump must be pumping when you check the fluid... This is accomplished thru the engine output shaft...The fluid level will read "high" on the stick if checked with the engine off ...It Must be running.

Sorry this is so late, just got done formatting LoL! Good for future reference tho!
A/T Capacity is 7.1 quarts.
Pan Drain & Refill is 3.7 quarts.
Transmission flush & refill 12+ quarts.
Line Pressure: Drive / Reverse
Idling: 58-66psi / 117-128psi
Stalled: 165-179psi / 249-269psi
Differential is 0.9 quarts.
The differential ATF is separate from the transmission ATF.
Also Sprach A541E Repair Manual.
(Thus Spoke A541E Repair Manual)
To check fluid level:
Drive until the engine & transmission are up to operating temperature (158-176*F coolant temp)
Park the vehicle on a level surface
With the engine idling & the brake pedal depressed, shift from P through all positions back to P
Check the dipstick (if you're a complete idiot & need to be told to wipe the dipstick, reinsert, pull back out & check the hot range re-read the post three more times before someone makes fun of you for being an idiot)
