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.
Transmission hot, car on a level spot, selector in park.
With the proper scan tool.

Assuming this is an automatic transmission, pull the dipstick out and read it, it will tell you the proper ATF to use.
In the 2011 Forester, it's at the bottom edge of the plastic housing for the dashboard, on the far left, right next to the driver's door. It can't be seen, but it can be felt. Nor is it mentioned in the owner's manual, which is more interested in the proper use of the cupholders.
With proper maintenance should last life of vehicle

your question is a bit ambiguous if you are talking about he engine oil filter it has nothing to do with the transmission do NOT put automatic transmission oil in the engine you will blow the engine
Yes it does. The proper way to check automatic transmission fluid is to check it while engine is at idle.
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.
