But the SIB states "When it reaches approximately 40° C, open the filler plug again (with the engine running), and top off the fluid level until it starts to overflow."

It's just an approximation. If it's at 35 or 45 I don't think it'll be the end of the world. The point is that you don't want to do it when the transmission and fluid is cold (ambient) or really hot. 40 C isn't even that hot for a transmission.

Thank you! I was halfway through when I realized these lines were in the way of the filter, and no DIY seemed to mention them.
