Did mine cold initially, then warm after a drive to get some more in.

yep. got that, thankyou. :y He was looking for what temp. to "mesure" the level of the new new oil! :-/ shold have made that more clear, sorry.  :-[To me tho, provided the box has sucked up all it is going to, surely the added oil will be at a standing temp. and will be measured as is when poored in? in other words poor it in, engage all gears, top up to hole and job done. Is the temp. important at that stage? :-?
