Transmission Oil Level

ESEP · 04-29-2008, 07:31 PM

I have a 2005 Nissan Maxima and changed the transmision oil recently and didn't verify where the oil level suppose to be. The dealer told me it shouldn't take more than five quarts and went ahead and poured the 5 quartz without checking the level at 3 or 4 quarts. With the five quarts, the oil level on the stick is past the hatch mark, but it sits where there's an "H" (probably for Hot). My question is whether the oil level should be at the hatch mark or where it says "H"? Thks. for any help.

Check when hot & on level surface.The oil should stay in cross hatch,jus b sure it's level.Checking when not hot can give an incorrect indication of where oil is due to contraction/expansion of oil.

Yep, you don't want it overfilled. Hot should be at the line for hot. If it is very far over that you can have foaming.

I hope someone can help, i have a 2001 toyota echo. since a few days ago, when i reach around 130-140km, i start to smell a burning odor when i open my window. i checked all my fluids, everything seems ok....nothing is slipping or anything. I do know that my muffler needs to be fixed, would that have anything to do wih it

What type of burning smell?

It could very well still be your belts, I had that problem yet they didn't squeal or anything; but they were still lose enough to slip and get hot at highway speed. - this only applies if you have manual tensioners though.
