Get the car up to operating temperature by going for a drive.

Park car on level ground.

With engine still running, run the selector from P to 1 and back, allowing each gear to engage. Do this 3 times.

Check the level on the dipstick on the drivers side rear of the engine bay, again still with the engine running :)

Ensure that the handbrake is fully on throughout this procedure :-X
