930 Transmission Fluid Capacity
Last night I filled my 930's transmission with Swepco.
I poured an entire 4 quarts into the transmission.
I was told it only held 3.x quarts, and that I should fill it until it starts overflowing out of the filler hole.
But I emptied the entire gallon, and it never overflowed the filler hole.
Do I need more fluid?

Brian,
This sounds goofy, but make sure the car is level, stick a finger in the fill hole a little bit at a time and see how far down it is using your finger as a dipstick. If it's right there at the fill hole or just below, I think your OK. The big thing is to make sure it's level side to side and front to back. If it makes you feel better to know it's just oozing back out when full, then add some more. That's what I would do. Better safe than sorry.
