    On the dipstick it has a cold and hot fill, I have always checked cold
    at under 70f without motor running and hot level with motor running
    and hot motor, is this correct on V40. I don`t see it stated in the
    manual I have.

    You should always check with the motor running, otherwise the level will
    read higher than it is. I don't recall the specified temperature, but
    70F is probably fine, whatever it is when you first start it up in the
    morning, and then the hot level is when everything has reached operating
    temperature.

    I screwed up I did not check with motor running because the fan was
    running so I removed to much yesterday thinking it was way overfull,
    my other cars check differently.

    When I deal with automatic transmissions, I just always use the hot
    level, it's more predictable than cold, and generally that's where the
    thing spends the most time while in use.
