Hi,

There are a couple ways to check and add fluid. I attached both of them below for you. Note that when checking the level, the engine needs to be running, in park, level, and at operating temperature. If you remove the pan level check with the engine off, you will lose fluid. It must be running when this is opened.

Take a look through the directions below and let me know if they help.

Additionally, I would be happy to help with all the issues you mentioned. However, I need you to start a new thread for each different issue. We try to keep the threads specific to one topic and vehicle type so that it is more helpful to others. I hope you understand.
