Just wondering if anyone can tell me if there is any advantage to warming up an automatic transmission in Neutral as opposed to Park? We just had a cold spell of -40C weather and I was just corious....
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yes i believe it does becuase it cycles as soon as the engine is started.quote:

Why do most (if not all) manuals/dipsticks tell you to check ATF in neutral? If it's the same for the tranny I would think park would be safer while the engine is running...quote:

You're better off warming the fluid by driving the car.
Says right on my dipstick to check in neutral. Also says the same thing in the manual and my Haynes manual.quote:

All of mine say park. I would bet most manufacturers would never get that manual past the risk managers if they said to check it in neutral, too many accident possibilities.
