Like most cars: Hot, having driven for at least a few miles; level surface, idling in Park.

To be honest I don't recall right now but Subaru may have level marks on the dipstick for both cold and hot, but you still need to have the engine idling when you check it.

Can you put car transmission oil in your ATV?

Automatic transmission oil is basically hydraulic oil for use in pumps. It is NOT recommended for use in any manual style transmission. All automatic transmissions in ATVs are a CVT type, and use no fluids. You should buy the proper gear oil for your ATV transmission as instructed in the owners manual.
