Try letting the car sit for 10-15 minutes after you have driven it 15 or so miles. Then start it the engine, shift through the gears and leave it idling in park or neutral.

That said, my hot-cold readings are not in agreement with the spec. If it's at the "max" mark hot, it's 10mm below the "min" line when cold. The spec is 5mm below when cold.
