Forgive me for asking it here, coz it's so quiet over there where the proper section is.

Ok so my question is, how do i ACCURATELY check my ATF and engine oil?? i have an 02 SE and when i try to check, the oil is everywhere on the dip sticks which makes it very hard to read.

I looked at the manual and it says that the engine takes 4.4L with the oil filter changed, so i've been changing the oil and the filter every time i do an oil change.

As for the tranny, i have no idea if it's at the right level, i just put in of what i think how much it came out when i changed it. So desperate to get it checked....

Help!!
