How do I check transmission fluid?
Okay I followed the instructions in the manual.
Warmed up car, drove it around the block then shift to all gears. Finally put it in neutral and lift the E brake.
The engine should be on when checking transmission fluid right?

Position of my ATF cap.
My problem comes when I cap it down in different positions hence I do not know the level of my ATF.
One way I get this:

where the fluid is all over the indicator
If I cap it in the other way I get the same thing.

Also to check engine oil, the engine should be on as well correct? :?
