I believe that this is also true. If the fluid is cold and you fill it to the mark with the vehicle running, it will expand when heated and be overfilled.

But, if you fill it to the mark with the vehicle not running, it will be quite a bit below the mark when running, even though the fluid heated and expanded. Apparently, it distributes quite a bit of fluid when running and the level on the stick is reduced accordingly.
