Maybe the gassers are different?, it probably says right on your dipstick how to check it, and certainly in the owners manual.
actually my owners manual says it requires a specifi procedure and to see the dealer to do it...which is crazy
Good lord, this is getting silly, did you know the 07's dont even have a tranny dipstick?! Its bad enough with all the electronic gizmo's that you need a code reader to even begin to diagnose a problem,
before you know it they will go back to not even letting you pump your own gas
in jersey you cannot pump your own gas they make you take a safety course and get certified to operate a fuel pump in order to work at a gas station.
and right out of my '03 manual it says
1. the vehical must be on level ground
2. the engine should be running at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds
3. fully apply parking brake
4. apply the service brakes and shift the transmission in D (drive) and R (reverse) for a minimum of 2 seconds in each gear position. shift into N (neutral).
5. the fluid (b)MUST(/b) be checked with the transmission in N (neutral)
6. remove the dipstick and feel if fluid is hot or warm. hot fluid is approximately 180*F (82*C) the normal operating temperature after the vehical has been driven atleast 25km (15 miles). the fluid cannot be comfortably held between the finger tips. warm is when fluid is between 85* and 125*F (29* and 52*C)
7. wipe the dipstick clean and reinsert until seated. Remove dipstick and note reading.
a. if fluid is hot the reading should be in the crosshatched area marked OK
b. if fluid is warm the reading should be above the "Min" hole and below the circle in the crosshatched area.
8. if fluid is low add sufficiant fluid to bring to the level.
fluid is added through the dipstick hole.
