I also notice that the cap the measures the amount of fluid the threads are marked up and it will not go back in straight.
Gary...you may have to call the manufacturer for the correct fluid. Normally it is a type of hydralic fluid. The trick with ATF fluid is; Is it Dexron or a ATF+4 type of fluid which is acutally synthetic. Surely find the correct level of the fluid as it can cause a fire if over filled and leaks down on the exhaust. Here is the link to your 225 Series, I believe. Good Luck! Also ask them about your dip stick lid when you call. HAPPY TRAILS... Goodn https://www.hwhcorp.com/ml54800_srvc.pdf
SOURCE: how do you check the
The ATF level is checked when your engine is at normal operating temperature, your car sitting on a flat surface with your transmission in P mode. Pull out the trasmission dipstick and check the level on it at hot.
Normally the colour of the oil should be quite clear or pink but if it smells burning or is too brownish in colour, your transmission will need a flush and the internal filter replaced as well.

Hi losflip,
There is a plug located where the right side axle shaft enters the transmission it is above the pan. To check the fluid level of the transmission the engine must be at operating temp and the vehicle must be level. The must be running and the transmission in park, the plug is then removed and if transmission fluid starts dripping/leaking out it is full. If not transmission fluid should be added till fluid starts leaking from the plug hole, then just reinsert the plug and tighten. Generally this is done with the vehicle on a lift in order to access the plug, you might be able to do this if you have enough room to access the plug remember the vehicle must be level.
SOURCE: What type of ATF do I use for yr2002 crysler 300m?//
All ATF are the same. I suggest that you use the one that chrysler uses on a regular service.
Otherwise you can drain empty your automatic gearbox and refill it with one of your choise. You what they say you get what you pay, quality oils and generally fluids are expensive. Don't be cheapy because maybe you pay it on the future. Believe you don't wanna know much does it cost to repair a gearox. I hope a help you a little...
SOURCE: Automatic Transmission fluid level
Here is the step by step on how to do it.
Be sure that transmission fluid temperature is at least 104° F (40° C). To access check/fill plug: In the engine compartment, remove clamp from air hose behind cooling fan. Separate air tube from the hose and push the tube back towards the transaxle. Remove the clip holding the two power steering lines together. All Models: From underneath vehicle remove the transaxle check/fill plug with engine running. Fluid level should be even with hole. Add fluid as needed until fluid flows from hole. Replace check/fill plug and torque to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm).

Yes There Is ONLY ONE PLACE for Power Steering Fluid.
ZF Gemmer Steering
The ZF Gemmer steering is permanently filled with oil. There is no drain plug.
ZF Rack and Pinion Steering Without Power Assist
The ZF rack and pinion steering is lubricated for its service life and therefore does not require servicing.
In case of repair, steering components on E21 vehicles are to be lubricated with a sodium-based grease, with a temperature range of -30°C to +75°C .
Calypsol D 4024 BMW Part No.32 11 1 116 929
Ball and Nut or Rack and Pinion Power Steering
Only reputable brand Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) of Dexron® III formulation may be used for the power steering and power steering pump.
In case of brief hydraulic noise after starting at low outside temperatures, we recommend replacing the red ATF with green CHF or LHM oil (see below).
ZF Ball and Nut Power Steering with H31 System
The approved oils for BMW models with power steering and the H31 brake booster system are identical with those oils approved for power steering without the H31 system except for the following:
E32 models with self-leveling rear suspension and mutual oil supply tank in the engine compartment.
Countries with very low outside temperatures (e.g. Canada) had their power steering systems filled at the factory with Pentosin CHF 7.1 since 9/87 through 9/91. This is also to be used on vehicles built before 9/87.
Since 9/91, vehicles now use Pentosin CHF 11S instead of CHF 7.1.
Pentosin CHF 7.1 BMW Part No.81 22 1 468 879
Pentosin CHF 11S BMW Part No.82 11 1 468 041
These cars are marked with a pertinent label located close to the oil tank.
LHM oils (green color) of the following manufacturers may also be used instead of Pentosin (CHF 7.1):
Shell LHM
Castrol LHM
Exxon LHM
The mixing of CHF, LHM oils and ATF is not permitted.
Pentosin CHF 4548 was used on vehicles built before 9/87 but is no longer available. However, mixing of Pentosin CHF 7.1 with residual quantities of Pentosin CHF 4548 are permiffed in these earlier vehicles. Mixing of these two oils is not permitted for E32/E38 vehicles.
The hydraulic system for power steering and power-assisted brakes must be drained as completely as possible when changing from one type of oil to the other.
All oil supply reservoirs are marked with the type of oil being used - ATF or CHF.
