Transmission dipstick - David W - 07-29-2025

Getting my new to me 87 classic #145 back roadworthy. My question today is the transmission dipstick has 2 sets of low/high marks. I assume one is hot and one is cold, but which one is what.
Thanks

hot is further up the dipstick. ATF expands when hot. Readings taken with engine running and Tran in neutral.

Video on Bus Grease Monkey of your air setup that might be interesting to watch.
