In my 2007 Liberty Sport there is no dip stick. I bought a Dorman 914-327 to check on the levels of the transmission. About a month ago, I had the transmission flushed and a new filter installed. My local mechanic said he didn't have a dip stick to check the level but would put in the amount required by Jeep.
Today I went to mark my Dorman dipstick for future reference. Cold, without the engine running, the fluid level was on the 65 mark(0-120 scale) which was about half full. Cold, but idleing, no fluid was showing at all. Hot and running, after driving about 10 miles, there was still no fluid showing on the dipstick.
I took it back to the mechanic and he said it would only read with the engine cold and not running and the readings I was getting was correct.
This goes against everything that I was taught about how to check transmission fluid levels. Someone let me know if this is correct or not.
