Hi there.. i try to diy for gearbox oil replacement. i asked in teamcity forum but seem no one reply me yet, so i try my luck here.

ok, straight to the point. how do you guys measure the gearbox fluid level? measure it during engine off or running?

previous workshop do measure it by running the engine, while other workshop off the engine to measure.

i asked why, as while engine running, the fluid level is way below minimum. he told me that is normal as fluid is pumped all gearbox area. however, i end up asking him to top up until in between L-H (with engine running)

in my city 2005 (cvt) manual book + internet, mentioning to off engine to measure for honda, while other brand is by running the engine.

which one is the correct way? sifus?
