    Checking auto gearbox fluid level

    Hi all, I've done a search to no avail so what's routine for checking the auto gearbox level on my 2000 T4? It's not covered in the handbook, is it the same as my V70?

    Cheers
    Steve

    Some have electronic now, but most cars with autobox the same.
    When hot.
    I usually do it when engine is off for 5 minutes but still hot.
    Worked ok so far in over 20 years.lol
