Default How to check car is level

Where would you put the level to make sure that the car is level on jack stands?
This is to replace the transmission fluid. Or is eyeballing it good enough?

I would think if you check the level of the floor, then measure the height of each jack stand to ensure they are all equal that should be sufficient.

IIRC you open the sunroof and using the biggest carpenters level check bubble is centric in opening.......if your car has sunroof delete then use special tool 928 396 4567, Rogers has them in stock.

Alternatively one could consider changing over to the non-Rogers box much preffered by true drivers

You could measure down to the floor off the normal ride height points and make sure they are all the same height above normal.

People do this? On the hoist or eyeball is how I always did my automatic. Never had a problem.
