I bought this one:
Mercedes Jeep Chrysler Dodge Gearbox Automatic Transmission Dipstick 1200mm NEWS | eBay
Arrived in a few days and worked perfectly. Much easier to read than the one with metal bands crimped on.

There are two sets of markings, 40c and 80c.

Wiser to buy the real thing from MB for the sake of £20 or so. Check with the engine running and box at 80 degrees, preferably after a run, and after shuttling through the gears.

Ok


So if the oil is low. Where do I top it up. Sorry for sounding thick, but I don't want to mess it up

Through the dipstick with a funnel.

Ok


So if I'm checking the level while hot, do I leave the engine running. Or turned off?
