While we're on the subject of leveling and fluid level, I just did a third change with Motul 300 in my transmission. I already had Motul, and it was fantastic the first time. I did a change about a month ago, and my gear engagement seemed more difficult and a lot less smooth than before. I thought maybe it was in my head, but also suspected that I may have overfilled it by a couple hundred ml.
So yesterday I put my car up on 4 jack stands, perfectly level. Drained the fluid while warm, and what do you know, I had 2.5L of fluid come out. I filled up with a fluid pump and made sure to put EXACTLY 2.3L of fluid. The difference is absolutely night and day. Shifting is easily 50% easier and smoother, and feels amazing just like it did the first time I put Motul in. I feel like some people who aren't impressed with Motul or any aftermarket fluid may be overfilling.
TLDR; I cannot stress how important it is to put exactly 2.3L of fluid in the tranny, with the car perfectly level.
