Camry :: 2007 - Reading Tranny Fluid Level With Dipstick

I am checking the tranny fluid level in my daughter's 2007 4 cyl Camry tomorrow.

This tranny has the dipstick and each time we try to check the fluid level with the dip stick we are not sure if we are getting a good reading or not.

What's the trick to it. Should the tranny fluid be at a certain temp before checking? I don't have the manual with me so I'm trying to find the procedure.

Jeep - Grandcherokee :: No Oil Reading On Dipstick

About a year ago the oil stopped showing on the dipstick of my 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is the original dipstick. I have changed the oil, filled it according to manual. It runs well, engine has no ticking (unless its low on oil, then I add a quart), pressure is fine. Just no way to check the oil !The tube is still attached from looking at the outside.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Cannot Get Accurate Reading On Dipstick Of 2008 RX350

I can't get an accurate reading on my dipstick of my '08 RX 350. I just tried after it sat all night and the oil is over the full marks. I just had the oil changed at Lexus and they used my 6 quarts of Mobil 1 and I told them not top it off to 6.5 quarts because I wanted to.

The tech said he did not add more than what I gave him. I just called Lexus and they said, yes it is difficult to get an accurate reading for some reason. He said check when the oil is warm and has sat for 5 minutes. Any others have trouble reading the oil dipstick accurately?

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 / 132k - Engine Dipstick Reading At End Tip / Massive Oil Leak

The car was low and I added enough oil to bring back to full. 1800 miles later, engine dipstick reading at end tip of dipstick. Added a quart, was full. Drove around 80 miles. It was low again. It has a huge film of oil spray all over the back end and it seems to be leaking a lot of oil. It's in a kind of square patterning the driveway. Not just one drip. This is my first Prius.

S-10 :: New Trans Dipstick Tube Leaks?

a co-worker brought over a 2000 chevy S-10 v6 automatic 4x4 with a leaking/broken dipstick tube. he bought the new tube/gasket & 6 quarts of auto fluid, and i told him to get a trans filter & gasket since I may need to remove the pan to get the old end of the dipstick tube out.

I was able to get it all out, and get the new tube in fishing it around the rear of the block for a few minutes. I got everything all seated up the tube had to be tapped in with a rubber mallet from the topside.

I checked the tube & seemed to have a nice seal. I replaced the mount bolt, put the filter & pan back on. filled it up & started up the truck.. rowed through the gears. seemed just fine until I looked under the truck. Almost all the ATF I had put in, on the floor.

I attempted to pull the tube & tried to put a little red RTV on the sealing grommet, on the outside & inside. I cleaned the tube & all other surfaces. same results...

how to adapt the tube to a compression fitting that bolts in to the trans .750 hole...

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Trans Dipstick Tube Leak - No ORing?

I have a minor leak at the base of the trans dipstick tube. I assume that the tube is press in ? has an o-ring ? I put some silicone around the area and that worked about a week, the fluid is probably eating through that type sealant. The trans is a 4r70. Seems to me that the actual tube should be ok and having never dealt with replacing one I want a little advice before yanking it out.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2000 - Won't Get Consistent Reading Of Trans Fluid Level?

I drained the transmission fluid on my 2000 f250. I measured the fluid at about 6 quarts. I refilled with 6 quarts. I drove until the engine was hot and checked the fluid while running in park. Each time I check it I get a different reading on the dipstick. I wipe off the dipstick each time but sometimes I pull it out and it reads low. The next try it shows about 1/2 inch over full on the dipstick. Can't get two consistent readings. Is it harmful if it is a little over or under full?

Camry 2012+ :: Touching Up Paint - Missing Clear Coat

I know it's a typical new car issue but every time I look at my car I see a new chip. None of them are major, usually just some missing clear coat but yesterday I found one that looked like it had been masked with fingernail polish. How do I remove this without damaging the paint underneath? Also, how do I level the repair after the clear coat?

Camry :: 2009 - Unplugged Power To Radio In Attempt To Clear Error 3

2009 Camry SE with jbl 6 disc changer. So I was getting a jammed changer (error 3) and tried disconnecting the negative terminal of my battery for a bit to reset everything. So it went from saying that there were 6 discs in the changer (there were only 5) and error 3 to saying there was nothing in the changer and pressing load/eject don't do anything. It's as if there's no cd player detected anymore. Aux still works. Any tips or is it fried? Also I took the whole thing out and removed all the discs. Still no dice.

Camry :: 2004 2.2L - Oil Dipstick Broke Off

So I went out to check the oil this morning and the dipstick has broken off just above the full line. There is still just a bit of plastic attached to the metal part and apparently the rest is down in the pan. How worried should I be about this? Could it clog up the oil pump or pickup tube? I last checked the oil about a week ago, so I'm not sure how many days I've been driving it this way.
