Horror !!!

Is that different on the 370? I'm not sure it matters for engine oil, just AT oil.

All vehicles should be as follows:

AT Fluid:
Engine running and warm, transmission in neutral, on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Pull dip stick, wipe, re-insert, pull out and read.

Engine oil:
Engine off but still warm, parked on a level surface. Pull dip stick, wipe, re-insert, pull out and read.

The reason you want to wipe the dip stick and then re-insert before reading is to avoid it reading higher than the oil/fluid actually is. Between all the moving parts and the motion from driving, it's common for oil or fluid to end up much higher on the dip stick than it really is.
