Checking the auto transmission fluid level.
Is the car supposed to be running when we check the level?

Re: Checking the auto transmission fluid level.
on a honda you check the fluid level with the car off, most others is with the car on.

Try reading your owners manual, you might learn something.

Check with engine off!
