Measuring the oil level for the 5G-Tronic (722.6) automatic transmission is a specific procedure because these transmissions do not have a permanent dipstick from the factory. A special service dipstick is used; it is inserted only for the measurement and then removed.
​????️ Requirements and Tools
​Special Service Dipstick (e.g., with OEM part number 140 589 15 21 00 or equivalent). The dipstick for the 722.6 is typically 1220 mm long.
​Transmission Oil Temperature Measurement. This is critical for an accurate reading. The best way is with a diagnostic tool (to read the temperature from the internal sensor) or with an infrared thermometer aimed at the transmission oil pan.
​Level Position for the vehicle (on a lift or over a pit/channel).
​Engine running at idle.
​Gear selector in "P" (Park) position.
​???? Measurement Procedure
​Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface, with the engine running at idle.
​Warm-up: Allow the transmission to reach its operating temperature. There are two main zones on the dipstick:
​"COLD" / 25°C – Used after initial filling, before full warm-up.
​"HOT" / 80°C (or 70-80°C) – This is the recommended temperature for an accurate reading.
​Remove the Cap: Locate the filler tube (usually in the engine bay). The cap is secured with a plastic locking pin (the tamper-proof plate). This pin must be broken/removed with a suitable tool.
​Insert the Dipstick: Insert the service dipstick into the filler tube until it bottoms out in the pan. Note: Since the filler tubes vary in length between models, a portion of the dipstick may stick out—this is normal .
​Reading: Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and remove it again to check the level.
​The fluid level should be between the minimum and maximum marks for the corresponding temperature (e.g., in the 80°C zone if the oil is hot).
​Correction and Re-measure: If the level is low, add small amounts (e.g., 100-200 ml) and repeat the measurement. Caution: Overfilling is just as dangerous as low fluid.
​Sealing: Once the measurement is complete, remove the dipstick and install a new plastic locking clip (pin) to seal the filler tube cap. The dipstick is NOT left in the transmission.
​Key Takeaways:
​The level is measured with the engine RUNNING and at the correct temperature.
​Always use a special service dipstick of the correct length (1220 mm).
