Very valid point, I bought mine in a shiny silver bottle from local BMW Dealer her in Cbus, being new to the car they had convinced me that I needed BMW power steering fluid... when I took it in for its new to me check up. I stopped using them right after I found this forum and for my foxwell. 2005 X5 4.4i (04/05 build date) Titanium Silver w/Black Interior |

ATF is used in power steering for a lot of cars anyways. Honest mistake.

That's why I chimed in. Figured I would make sure you were actually checking the trans fluid and not the power steering

Maybe the V8's are different, but the 3.0 trans should not be at full operating temp when checking the level. I don't recall the range off the top of my head, but it's when the fluid is only slightly warm.
I run it for only a few minutes until the pan is just slightly warm. The lower end of the range is something like 85 degrees F, so you could not run it at all on a summer day and be in range. AM.
