Now you just need a Star-scan and a Service manual to properly check it. The starscan for the trans fluid temp, and the manual for the chart to tell the level in relation to said trans fluid temp... a dip-stick is only 1/3 of the battle...good luck...

A temp guage isn't a must if you know the general temp.... cold or hot (after normally running), although it helps dial it in perfect...

I have one of these dipsticks from both ebay and miller tools....

The ebay mercedes tranny dipstick has ~30 mm "cold" range measurement & 80MM "hot" range measurement and ships quick - easy to use. The Miller has every 10mm marked for more accuracy but takes almost a month for them to ship it and charge your card. Take your choice...

Also use the chart on page 5 here for proper fluid levels...http://modsfaceoff.com/2005_dodge_magnum_TSB/21-011-05.pdf#search='transmission dipstick 9336'

If you guys want a picture showing the difference in each it shouldn't be a problem... :thumbs_u:

Yep, I went into the local (small town) Dodge dealer to get the level checked recently.

The mechanic handed me the tool & said it should be somewhere around 60 - 75mm if the car has reached normal operating temperature & it was @ 60mm.

It's just not that complicated.
Well I went back outside and checked and I was wrong...

The ebay (mercedes dipstick) has a 25 degree and 80 degree range, celsius (76/176 fahrenheit) lol....
The miller on the bottom just counts the mm for you....

Think with your dipstick jimmy!!!!!!!!! :friday:

A cheaper option is the Mercedes 722.6 dipstick PN# 140-589-15-21-00 ($26 Ebay)

On the Mercedes its recomended to get the fluid dead on the 4th line on the top when the transmission is at operating temp. (160-180F).
The Miller dipstick is 70mm at operating temp.

Anyone know where to get the temp and fluid levels for the 42RLE Transaxle in LX Vehicles equipped with a 3.5 Liter Engine. And maybe a write up...I am just about ready have the dealer do a flush and filter,(I am at 128,000mi) BUT if I can do it and save $$$. I have a predator...

At those miles I'd have a flush done.

After the dealer sets the level, use a big ass zip tie to check it level and hot (like level and getting off the freeway, and while in gear). That will give you a constant to check.

If you don't leak, it will probably stay there.
