HELP Accidentally drained tranny fluid

I use a Scangauge II

 

What’s the air temp where you’re doing this?

 

I’m in Texas Air temp is 70ish

 

Something is wrong then, it shouldn’t take more than ten minutes to get to temp when it’s that warm out. Might even only take 5.

 

The fluid check temperature is 115 -130F you can use an infrared temp gun to check the temp if you can't get the indicator method to work

 

Some have noted that the pan won’t be as hot as the fluid so the IR gun may show a low reading. Best alternate is SG if available…

 

Lol we had a new at at work do this. He was in lower bay and we hear”this oil is red as a motherfucker” he doesn’t work here anymore.

 

Must be South Texas because temperatures are dropping fast right now.
