Just changed my transmission fluid and filters and was checking the fluid level on the dipstick. I noticed for the first time that right below the crosshatched area at the bottom of the dipstick, where the fluid level is supposed to be, it says "Cold". Nothing else there.
A few months ago, a shop replaced my dipstick because they broke off the yellow handle while working under the hood. I'm wondering if the new dipstick is different. Length the same??
Mine measures 58.5 inches from the center of the crosshatch area to where I've shown on the photo below.
I've got an '07 with the 6.0 diesel. Would someone with the same setup measure their dipstick and post the length from a stock dipstick?
