I've checked it several times, each time with it idling in park. First, I checked it cold and it appeared to be several inches too high on the dipstick. I thought this was odd since the owner's manual says it will be about 12 mm below the 'low' line if cold. But then I read on here that when it's cold it will read high.
Then I checked it after driving a couple of miles. I shifted through all the different modes (R,D,S, etc.), still high. then I read here that a couple of miles won;t get the tranny fluid warmed up enough.
Then I drove about 13 miles and checked it the same way; still 1 1/2 inches high. Then I read that some people recommend driving about 20 miles and letting it idle for several minutes before checking. I have yet to try it this way.
When I do check it there are generally a few bubbles, but nothing that looks foamy or frothy.
