So it's been evident for a while that the trans dipstick says to check the fluid level in Neutral while the FSM clearly says to fill in Park. There's been discussions ranging from "it doesn't matter" to "it has to be in Neutral" to "it has to be in Park".
Well, since none of us are Mopar engineers, I figured I might as well go right to the source and try to get an official response.
I'll keep updating this first post with the responses. You'll see from my response today I'm expecting to get my inquiry moved up to a more technical/official representative...

For the record, I just got home from running some errands and checked my trans fluid via both methods and the Neutral reading was higher.Originally Posted by Reply from Chrysler CSR
When in Park: Fluid level just below the H in "HOT"
When in Neutral: Fluid level at the T in "HOT"
Both were within spec so I'm not worried. I'll probably use "P" from now on and just fill to 25-50% range of the HOT zone.
