Press locking pin (6b) to one side in direction of arrow, remove both parts and open locking lever (6a) As of 10/93 (illustration 2)
Pull out dipstick (6) Wipe off with fluff-free cloth
Insert oil dipstick (6) up to the stop, pull out again and read off oil level. When the transmission is cold, (transmission oil temperature approx. 30 deg C) the display must be between the "min" and "max" marks for the correct oil level (illustration 4).

When the transmission is at operating temperature (transmission oil temperature approx. 80 deg C) the display must be at the "max" mark for the correct oil level.

Correct oil if necessary Re-check oil level once again.
Close locking lever (6a) and insert locking pin (6b) until it engages Insert oil dipstick (6) so that the locking clip (6a) is easily accessible and does not contact anywhere.
