What are you going to be able to tell other than oil level by a dipstick? What are you looking for by inspecting the trans oil on the dipstick? This is where you can teach me something.

If its not leaking onto the floor or sucking it into the cylinder (both would be very noticeable without a dipstick) its not going to go anywhere, its a separate portion of the crankcase all together from the engine itself (basically meaning the crank/rod/piston combo) so it is not going to burn off as it would in a four stroke which is why you get the contaminates in the trans oil of a four stroke and not in a two stroke (yet another issue that makes the two stroke a better choice for small engines)... a dipstick could be used to check the level but its not necessary, just as there is no dipstick on the rear end of your car or in a standard transmission for that matter, an automatic is a bit different as rather than simply a lubricant it builds pressure to work, while it builds up pressure it can get hot and burn off (this is why in an automatic your radiator is also a transmission cooler) and also why you generally find a dipstick on an auto transmission because by design they are not 100% efficient and need additional amounts added over time, as apposed to a closed system (i.e. 2 stroke motorcycle trans/rear differential / standard car transmission) which generally needs changed but not "added too" over time..... if you still need a dipstick most of us were born with five on each hand... try one of thoseOriginally Posted by sunnyday

Never would do that..im not in kindergarden...nor do I feel the need to try and " vaguely" troll others or make sarcastic remarks to put them down. Ill leave such actions to some of the so called trike " experts" that have responded to a few of sincere questions , because so far, they seem to have done very well in that category
