Hi... Today, I brought my car for a major service, and that includes flushing and changing the brake fluid.
However, I soon noticed that the mechanic actually overfilled it. It is over the MAX by about 4 mm, however, there is still some place in the reservoir. Do I have to do anything with it? Should I bleed the brake system? Or just a slight overfill is nevermind? If I need to bleed it, how should I do it? Any places where I can find a graphical tutorial? (My car manual doesn't tell me how to bleed it).
Another thing, how should I check my automatic transmission fluid level? The mechanic also helped me change the fluid today, but I still prefer to check it myself.
I followed my car's manual instructions : Warm up the car by driving, park the car on a level surface, depress the brake pedal fully and shift from P to L, stopping momentarily at each step, then put the transmission to Neutral, then check the automatic transmission fluid with the engine still running. However, when I pull out the dipstick, the fluid is really not obvious. I tried to see it at a very near distance, the first time, it is beneath the minimum level, the 2nd time, it is higher than the maximum level, the 3rd time, it is in between. I then switched off the engine, and checked it again after 5 minutes, this time, it is still in between, almost full. So, what do you think? Is it full or not and do I have to add in more?
My auto-transmission dipstick is COLD | HOT | ADJUST AT HOT. If I have to add in additional fluid, does it mean that I have to add in when the engine is hot (not cold)?
Thanks!
