I agree with you Larry. We can put a man on the moon, but we can't design an accurate way to read transmission fluid!
Not only is it hard to see the contrast of the fluid against the stick, but the curve in the tube assures the fluid will get smeared along the stick! Then if you need to add some fluid, you have now covered the inside of the dipstick tube with fluid, so good luck reading that!
I drilled a couple of small holes at the Add and Full marks. If there is fluid in the Add hole, but not in the Full hole, then it is somewhere between Add and Full.
The usual response I get from Engineers is "works as designed!" To which I reply "But not designed to work"
Don't get me started on grease nipples (zerks).
