I've went through numerous post and cannot find a post with temp req when I replace my tranny oil. What I did was to drain the oil from the drain plug, then unscrew the transmission pan. replaced filter, seal, and put everything back. Then I just pump in oil until it leaks, and then turn on engine to wait for the oil to circulate, and then pump in more oil until it leaks consistently and screw it shut. Never pay attention to level or temp, been driving with no problem for 35K miles.
