You have to buy a special tool, i bought mine online. It's a steel cable with a little dipstick on the end that measure in MM. You can't just check the fluid level and add some, the temperature plays a big part in the measuring. I have an 05 Magnum with the 4 spd tranny and just changed my fluid and filter last month.

As bizarre as it sounds .. these are the measurments I get at different times (I dont have the $10000 machine to read the temp like the dealer).

Outside temp was between 50-60 degrees

Car sat overnight - reading 60mm

Ran a couple minutes until rpms came down - reading at 18mm

Ran 15 minutes around the block up hill - reading at 35 mm

Ran 1 hour (home from work) - reading at 45 mm

When I drained the fluid I measured what came out (4.5qts) and put 4 qts back in. Checked the measurements sitting (cold) and ran for 15 minutes. New readings were a little low, so I put the other 1/2 qt in. Now my measurements are the same as before and car runs great.

Hope this helps.

You will have to buy a dipstick part number 9336 to check the fluid. They DO NOT come with the vehicle, this is how they get you to come in. There should just be a cap where the dipstick goes. Mercedes does the same thing. Check with the dealer how much they are
