4l60e and Dex VI issue

[BayouTodd]

I recently changed my fluid in my 4l60e pan and filter on my gm fbody then buttoned her back up and then added 5 qts of Dex VI and brought the tranny up to operating temp (35 miles), problem is, the fluid is so clean and thin, I really can't tell exactly where it is in the cross hatched area once its hot and thin, any concerns or issues?

did you carefully measure how much you removed?

I always have that issue with ATF, even before dex VI

Alldata lists 5 qts as the refill. I would say you should be pretty darn close to full.

I filled a gallon jug plus what went on my tarp, rags, and garage floor...I say darn close to 5qts.

Thanks for the ALLDATA confirm. Headed out to Hot Rod Power Tour Thursday

4L60-E drain refill 4.5L.

4L60-E drain refill 4.5L.When fluid reach to 70-80c' check again.roughly 20km drive as per the service manual.
If you can read the ATF temperature sensor reading you can fill up 100%.

I check the dipstick about 50 times it seems after I have done a AT fluid change. Reflect the dipstick in the light and see if that helps you spot it. Check both sides too.

Lay the dipstick on a paper towel and note where the fluid wets the paper. Sometimes you can use your finger, but a white paper works well.
