The temperature should be read while in Drive or Reverse. The level should be checked after cycling through D & R, then placed into P or N. If you did not find a drain for the torque converter start with only 5 quarts.

T1N Sprinter Limp Home Mode, How to Reset Without Stopping!
In this short video Bill shows us how to get our vans out of Limp Home Mode without stopping on the side of the road. Limp Home Mode, or LHM is your van telling you something is wrong & preventing damage to itself. We do not recommend driving far in LHM or resetting it frequently, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t done it thousands of times with no ill effect. As you can see in the slow motion, Bill has practiced this too much!
This affiliate link will take you to our recommended OBD2 coder scanner. Autel AP 200 is very helpful in diagnosing why your Sprinter van goes into Limp Home Mode. https://amzn.to/3h2gLY0 -

T1N Sprinter Antifreeze Leak, Sometimes It Is The Obvious Stuff.
Will comes to visit with a little leaking issue. We got lucky this time, it was just a loose hose clamp. A little shop-talk and some jokes, but I'm sorry, there is no "How-to" lesson in this one.

Repairing Roof Rust Holes in a T1N Sprinter!
In this video, Anna shows you how she tackled the rust in the roof of her van. Luckily, we caught it just in time! Anna's van has been waterproof for almost a week now thanks to the fiberglass mat being used in place of the old sealant. This is a common T1N problem, if you don't have problems with your roof seams yet it's imperative you take the time to wash and wax your van roof at least once a year to prevent this from happening.
