Anyone heard of having to change dipsticks when using a shallow aftermarket pan vs a factory deeper one??
Went for a trans filter and they wouldn't warranty against pan leaks unless they replaced my aftermarket, shallow pan with a stock factory one. Later there were pan leaks and they resealed the pan.
Then fluid started bleeding out the overflow tube which it never did before. They took out some fluid and everything seems to be fine except that no fluid shows on the dipstick. They told me that they should have changed the dipstick when they changed to a deeper pan and that they'd order me a new diipstick.
It's possible the first tech that changed the pan knew the proper fluid level but the second tech just went by the "incorrect" dipstick and overfilled it but this sure doesn't make sense to me.
