yes it is significant, but to determine exact level or ratio we have to had
those kind of data provided by ATF manufacturer,which is upon my quick
search hardly obtainable

the ratio in question SHOULD be the same as measured "warm"
twice... once upon the start of engine,second time after 30 min (or so) of driving ... both with P selected... I guess on .303 tranny the difference
on the stick is somewhat 5-7 mm.

using that logic if 30-80C oil temp difference give us a 5-7 mm upwards
oil temp 30-0 C will give us 2-5 mm downwards...(what ever method U use..cold or warm...)



& don't kill me for this quick math,... just thinking out loud )

cheers,
