Automatic transmission question
My factory repair manual for the 2007 says the normal operating temperature is 180 degrees F. Should take about 15 minutes of driving. I just changed mine last weekend and used 5 and 1/2 quarts so 6 is about right. The repair manual also says check at normal operating temp, on level surface, and in park after running through all the gears first stopping for a couple seconds in each gear.
That doesn't mean it will normally be at 180°F. It just means it's OK to be at that temperature. It's probably a carryover spec from when the transmission fluid was routed through the engine's radiator.
