Ah, yes, I see it now: I misunderstood what you wrote, as did FT.
We thought you were measuring just temperature and coming up with
the level. That would be nonsense.

Actually it does not need pixie dust, if you measure BOTH temperature
and depth.
D
D = kNT => N = ----
kT
where, D = Depth of
k = fudge-factor constant
N = Number of liters of ATF at standard temperature
T = Temperature, Kelvins
So, knowing BOTH the temperature and the depth you can calculate the
number of liters of ATF at the standard temperature.
