How do you check the oil level?

Jonny Boaterboy:
Well you may all be thinking I'm a bit of a spanner...... but I have changed the oil and mesh filter in my auto box and I'm not too sure how to check the level. The hand book says one way, the manual another, If I start the engine select N and check it it is way over max. If I start the engine select D then N then R a few times the the level will drop to just below max. Which one is giving me the right reading?

I'm off to the Bala off road sight this Saturday as my birthday trip out any one else going to be there?

Thanks all

Jonny

start engine run up and down the shifter a few times and then leave it in N,

Range Rover Blues:
I found the same, manual and handbook don't agree.  Eiother way you need to run throught he selector gate a couple of times to fill all the valves in the valve block.

I usually go with the advice stamped on the dipstick, in neutral when cold.

Jonny Boaterboy:
Yep think I will go with the method of getting more oil in! thanks all
