Subject:      Automatic transaxle final drive oil leve.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Anyone want to weigh in on what the oil level should be in the final drive
of an automatic transaxle?  Before I left for FL, the level was about ¼ inch
or so below the oil plug.  I filled it up to just overflowing.  About 4-500
miles into the trip, I notice the back of the car spotting up.  It was hot
as h*** on the way down.  I checked the oil level down here and it is about
¼ inch below the plug again.  So I’m wondering if it should be at this level
and that it just vented the excess out.
