How many miles on the fluid? How many miles on the car? Is the fluid low? Be sure you check the fluid properly, off the top of my head I do not remember the procedure but there is a way to do it to get the most accurate reading...

I do. Start the car and drive it for around 10 miles. Get it hot. Let the car settle. Wait around 5 minutes for everything to drop down. Then take a reading.
