Unhappy velvet drive fluid level ?

Should you check the fluid level with the motor running or shut down ? hot or cold?

Check it in the same manner as you check your engine oil engine off.

Hello,
I asked that question yesterday. The way I was told to do it was while the drive has been in use (warmed up, hot, what ever you want to call it) you shut the motor off and run back and check the level. Thats what the guy at Velvet drive told me anyway. http://www.velvetdrive.com/ He said its almost a 2 man job. I think he said you want to get it before the oil bleeds back from your system...coolers and what not. He said its not a good Idea to check it while its running cause its slinging oil so much inside. Mine has the older Dip stick on it.
They have a tech support number.
