    Question CVT Transmission Woes (how to confirm fluid level?)

    Hi everyone,
    No matter how intently I peer at the dipstick, I am having a really tough time getting the right amount of transmission fluid in the car after my various drain/fills.

    Does anyone know an [B]exact[B] measurment for how much fluid the car takes after it has drained over night, on level ground?

    I can't exactly measure what comes out, becuase that isn't an appropriate baseline.

    I have followed all the directions for getting the transmission to temp, shifting through the gears, and then checking the dipstick, but my issue is that the fluid is so transparent and has such thin viscosity that I can't seem to tell where on the gauge the level is coming to.

    Please help.
