Re: Ultramatic fluid check....

This might help. The service manual is a little vague as to whether engine is running or not so per the second article which was issued when an early valve change was made, run the engine at 800 rpm in neutral for at least one minute. Park can also be used since the valves are in the same state as they are in neutral. The engine can then be stopped if desired. Fluid level needs to be checked within one minute after engine stops before it has a chance to drain out of the converter and back into the pan.

If you have the 54 gearstart with the dipstick in the engine compt, the engine is run in neutral or park at 800 rpm for a minute and then you drop down and stay at idle when fluid is checked.
