Not at all difficult once you understand the rules. Thanks Xalty for the Video.

 

From the video, I get the idea that if you know what the level reads both when hot (good reading) and then cold, you could get a fairly good idea
where your oil level is even when checking it cold. Nice and informative video ...thanks Xalty

 

The transmission is perfect now. The engine is smooth and no codes. The problem now is it idles at 1600 RPM and that equates to 25 MPH in drive. At least the brakes are working but that is not safe. Anyone know how to adjust the idle on this 308? Any help appreciated..

 

The computer sets the idle speed and I don't know any way to adjust it like in the old days of carburetors.
Usually high idle speeds means you have a vacuum leak but have you checked for any codes?
