Reading Powerglide Dipstick
 

Hey guys, dropped the pan on my powerglide to change the filter and fluid. I put about 3.75qts in but I'm not exactly sure where the fluid should be on the dipstick on how much is too much, seems a little difficult to read with the fresh fluid.

Here's some eye candy for being so kind to read my post. My truck sitting on cut coils all around and 1" blocks

Hot and in park running should be just under the full mark. I always keep the dip stick kind of straight up and down, seems to help see the line from the fluid.

i tend to look on the backside of the stick, helps reading with no lines or lettering in the way...

be sure to park on level ground, fluid will shift in pan on an un-level surface

Thanks! Reading the backside worked perfectly.
