He even admitted it is toughh to read and said 300ml low will not do anything bad.

Good for you and your tranny!

That's good to know the difference of 300 ml is that much on the dipstick, which means if you are going to get some ATF on the dipstick you are probably in the good zone.

Check the level in a few days to make sure it has not changed

How do you add more ATF to the transmission? Is there a fill plug?

It's added via a very long funnel that has a small-diameter outlet that fits right in the tanny fluid dipstick hole.
