Mine doesn't have anything written on it ~ just the max and min marks.

The owners handbook for my (thankfully departed) 7 series Bimmer ~ same gearbox ~ gave the same instruction for checking the oil.

Perhaps it doesn't matter whether it's in N or P.

Range Rover Blues:
I couldn't say whether it makes a difference or not TBH, I thnk the difference between P and N is the mechanical dog-brake that engages on the output shaft, so all the valves and servos will be in the same position in either gear.

That's kinda what I was wondering, but don't know enough about the innards of the auto box ... and would prefer not to get too personally acquainted with mine :D

Range Rover Blues:
No, not a job I can be bothered to learn TBH, I'll try most things but I like to think it's my common sense telling me not to start on auto boxs :undecided:
