The dip stick is a "Proprietary" tool and is used in conjunction with an infered temp guage to messure the fluid level at the exact tranny temp.

That is the song and dance the stealership gives out. Miller tools makes the dipstick and once my tranny is out of warrantee i plan to get one and a temp guage. I already have (somewhere) the cart that shows the levels at different temps. As long as they want to be responsible for it i will let them.


P.S. That is one trick chrysler learned from Mercedes. seams the mercedes have that feature too.
