I think it's due to the expansion of the fluid at temperature...I suppose you maybe could if you replaced fluid with fluid of the same temp.

As I understand it it has to be set at that temp range due to expansion and the fluid tied up in the valves and clutch plates. I say this because when I first drained the pan I got over 1 litre out with engine off but you set it with it running until it only drips out.

Hi there could you tell me what is the ATF oil make and type for the xc60 2014 D4 as I am about to do a flush and change.
