Can you say, "Recreational Maintaince". Don't just look at Europe, a lot of transmissions here do not have a dip stick, so you must fill them from the drain bolt with a special adapter too prevent overfilling.
Given so many vehicle fires happen here on the mountain passes from transmission fluid bubbling back up through the dipstick tube and flowing out onto hot exhaust manifolds, maybe that's not a bad thing! :) I know some have gone to a positive lock on the dipstick to prevent it from popping out.
GMC has used the positive lock since 1988 its not new but not going to happen on the diesel pusher Allison type trans
only in some gasser situations although fairly rare
