Yes, usually on a cold engine the oil level in the automatic transmission is higher than on a hot one.

Reasons:

* When the oil is cold, it is more viscous and has less fluidity.
* In a cold engine, the oil does not have time to heat up and expand.
* Usually, the dipstick for checking the automatic transmission oil level has marks for checking the level on a cold and hot engine.

Important:

* Check the automatic transmission oil level on a hot engine after a short trip (about 10-15 minutes), when the oil has warmed up to operating temperature.
* Use the correct dipstick for your specific automatic transmission model.
* If the oil level on a cold engine exceeds the “hot” mark on the dipstick, this may lead to overfilling of the automatic transmission and damage.
