[QUOTE="Ratpatator, post: 1140556, member: 20527"] So I discovered a couple tricks to avoid burning your hands when checking or filling the fluid. First gloves are to big and bulky to be able to turn the plug or pull the dip stick so use a decently thick and durable rag and wrap it around the back and side of your hand and fingers leaving your palm exposed then reach up and get to it. The rag will heat up but a lot slower than your skin. No way to avoid the hot plug tho. Second get a piece of copper tubing 12 inches long that fits in your transfer pump hose, I used 3/8, and seal with a hose clamp then bend the end in a 180 with about 2 inch hook to reach into the plug hole.
