Hi ginge.
Make sure you're checking the level properly on an autobox.
Warm engine (after a short run), in park, engine running.
Mine needed about half a bottle by the time I got to this bit in the Haynes manual...

if its a manual and inline (petrol or diesel) it may have a car engine fitted and not had the original stick blocked .
