Oddly chasing a transmission shift problem on my sedan I had to go
out and check the transmission fluid. Normally I don't do that because
of the risk of introducing contaminants. Ya lint free micro-fiber
cloth etc...
In checking the w140 owners manual it says, run car til hot. I've
heard 15-20 minutes. Park, leave in park , let idle 1-2 minutes, keep
motor running, unlatch dipstick head, remove, clean,
put stick back in all the way down. Check fluid, it was hard to read,
mine seemed to imply it was above the high line.
Further to this it says:
To check fluid when COLD, like when driven from the lot into the shop
after being parked all night, it would be I think it said 10mm below
low line.

Hey everyone,
Checking the fluid on the trans. Want to make sure I'm doing it
right.
Hand books says running in P, hot. In this state, it reads low,
but once
the car is turned off, the level reads above the high line. I
thought the
book said when turned off of the fluid has slightly cooled, it
should be a
half inch below the low line? Need a little clarifications.....and
talk
slow, I'm dumb. :-)
Car is an '88 300E gaser. 3.0L engine.
Thanks everyone,
Ed
