I know this is kind of a brain dead question, but it has been a while since I have had to worry about this. What is the standard practice for checking the tranny fluid in an automatic transmission? I sort of remember something about the car being at running temp, but that is about it. Also, is there a specific fluid type that is better then others? (Kind of like with spark plugs, where NGK or Champions are better then platnum or other expensive plug types.) Mike mlawrenc(at)rcc.on.ca
