How to properly check fluid level for 400 turbo transmission
I have not owned a chevy in a long time. How do you properly check the fluid level for a 400 turbo transmission behind a chevy small block.
Do you check it while running and in park or neutral? |

But not after an extended drive. Let it run for a few minutes, cycle through the gears, then check while still running.
