      If the fluid is low when the transmission is at operating temperature, then when cold it's even lower. The ATF expands when it warms up. I would consider dropping the pan to change out the strainer too. That way you can inspect what's in the pan too.

      If you buy over the dealer counter just make sure they don't give you T-IV. A member had shift problems after dealerships (multiples of them), told him T-IV was ok. It was NOT.

      Maxlife works fine with power steering too. Just do multiple refills, no need to disconnect the reservoir hose, the reservoir might be brittle with age. Changing Power Steering Fluid - advice needed
