Will a transmission warm up in neutral?
Yes, Park and Neutral (at a stop) are identical, both hydraulically and mechanically. So your trans will not warm up any faster in Neutral than it would in Park. If you actually want to reduce warmup time, you’ll need to put the trans in gear (Drive or Reverse).
Can you put a car in neutral with no transmission fluid?
No. The transmission isn’t pressure lubrication, it is splash lubrication there is pretty much no splashing occurring at idle in neutral, so it will be fine there isn’t any load so it cannot hurt it’s self with exerting extreme pressure generating the heat to damage it.
How long does it take to warm up the transmission fluid?
On how long to warm up the transmission fluid, it should take 15 to 20 minutes. However, some vehicle manufacturers suggest that you check the transmission fluid when the vehicle is not running. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the car owner’s manual first to confirm when they recommend your vehicle.
How can you tell if your transmission fluid is hot or cold?
Pull out the dipstick once you’ve found it and the engine has warmed up. Wipe it clean with a rag and reinsert it all the way in. Now, pull out the dipstick again and observe the markings. There are two marks spread out on the dipstick and are usually labeled “Cold” and “Hot”. Sometimes they may be labeled “Add” and “Full”.

Why is my transmission fluid level so high?
More than half of the trans fluid is in the workings of the transmission and the torque converter. When it is NOT working, the fluid can drain back into the pan and the fluid level in the pan can be higher than when the trans is running and warm. This what my 2010 OM says: Fluid Level Check (5.7L Engine)
Why do you check both hot and cold transmission fluid?
The reason for checking when both hot and cold is transmission fluid expands as it is heated. Note that if you drive the car at highway speed for a long period of time and then attempt to check the fluid level “hot” after that you WILL get a false reading (the fluid level will appear “high”, when in fact, it is perfectly OK).

What to do when your transmission fluid is low?
The first thing to do is check your transmission fluid level. Put your jeep in park and level ground and leave it running. Check the transmission fluid level and condition on the dip stick. If the fluid isn’t up to the “high” mark and bright red it may be time for a fluid flush which could get things back to normal.
