I did the filters and lost about 4 qts. I have put 7 back in and after a 30 min drive it's to the middle of the warm Mark on dip stick. I can't get it warm enough yet to check with pad. Just get 70 code.
It was not low when I picked this thing up so I am.confused as to the additional fluid I am.putting back in?

If you want to heat the fluid to check, put it in gear with the parking brake on and idle up a bit so the engine is working, that oil will heat right up. Works best starting with warm oil after a drive or half an hour into a drive. But then it should be hot enough soon to warm the oil enough to read the level.
Have 2008 Freightliner M.H. with Allison 3000. Transmission oil fill cap says Transyd oil only. How would i find out what oil is in the tranny. TES295??
I think 295 was the standard then, the newer Allison spec is TES668 and also covers 295. You can try a JLG or CAT SOS oil sample and compare the viscosity to see if it's transynd or not, there is a long thread somewhere by a former Allison employee explaining all there possibly is to know about Allisons and transynd.
My Allison 1000 in a Winnie 2002, has never read right on the stick....always read in the Hot even when ice cold. Been told MAY be wrong made up dip-stick, May be a short oil pan.
Ran for 22 yrs. going to change oil and filter for the 4th time and fill it to the HOT mark on the dip-stick when cold....It has worked for 22 yrs. coopcolt
