Yes, that's always best as oil flows more freely when at normal operating temperature.

My 2002 CDT has the latest type fluid cooler (which cools on the water circuit).
The input pipe is marked X and output pipe is marked with W on that cooler. So you need to release pipe W on the cooler (the one on the left side of the cooler, shown right on the picture here, and that is going to the lower fixing at the Jatco box.)

With the lower cooler pipe disconnected, will it suck in air when the engine is run for 10 seconds ?

It may draw some air in the disconnected pipe, but as the system is an oil circulation system, it will bleed it self when everything is connected and filled. Running through all the selector positions for 3 seconds each is basically the internal bleeding process before setting the ATF oil level.

It doesn't matter, the level plug is just a plug in an Oil way that goes up inside the casting to the correct level.
If you think about it ?, if the level plug was just a plug in the casting anywhere near the same level as the drain plug, how would you keep 8 or so litres in ? C
