On my 244GL the transmission fluid dipstick has hi and low for 40 deg C and hi and low for 90 deg C - and there's a considerable difference.

Friends (who don't have and have never had a volvo) tell me I should read the dispsticks when the engine is running. This, too, makes a considerable difference.

How am I to read it?

What does 40 deg C mean? Virtually cold, I'd guess, right?

And 90 deg C means after a good run?

And both should be measured with the engine running?

Yes check it with the car running.
Yes the 40 C means cold and 90 C means hot after running for a little while.

 

Thank you. And elsewhere I got provided with this URL which I'll pass on to you - spread the good things around:
