@pw0n, question for you. If you did this at home garage (which is usually some degrees slope), how do you know your car is "leveled"? Beside filling at the proper temp range, having the car leveled is another critical step. First time around, I "top off" at 42 degrees and call it a day. But then I could hear the transmission "pump noise" at startup. It quickly goes away as soon as car warms up, but i thought it was an indication of low fluid. I had to go thru the whole process again. 2nd time around, i didn't hear pump noise anymore. Just something to look out for. Too much fluid - trans overheat. Too low fluid - gear damage or shifting issues.
