No. Only when you check the level. It's just easier to leave it running so you can check it right away.

How do you change the transmission fluid on a 2001 4x4 Isuzu trooper

transmission fluid is checked with the car cooled off -never when running-(daddmac)
I have a 1994 Isuzu Trooper and it has issues upshifting at lower speeds. How do I check the fluid level in the transmission when there is no dipstick?
Yes it does. The proper way to check automatic transmission fluid is to check it while engine is at idle.
When changing the filter and fluids of a car, it is important to know the fluid capacity. A 2000 Isuzu Trooper uses 9.1 quarts of transmission fluid.
if it is an automatic then yes, if it is a standard transmission then no
The transmission fluid dipstick is located on the passenger side near the top rear of the engine. With the engine running, remove the dipstick and check the level on the stick.
If you have an automatic transmission, check with the engine warm and running, The dip stick is located on the passenger side rear of the engine.
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.
Allow the engine to idle for one minute, and press the brakes. Keep the engine running and absorb the temperature of the fluid.
