Any engine needs to running, and at normal operating temperature, before ever checking the Transmission Fluid level. Checking this fluid without the engine running will give false readings indicating a full reservoir, when in fact if running, may not even be half full in some instances.

Equally as bad as a half full transmission is one that is overfilled - too much of a good thing will also kill the transmission.
