I would add one word of caution and try to remove the small allen or torx plug in the drain/stand pipe before draining the fluid. If the small level plug is too tight and strips then you will have no way to correctly check the fluid level. I always keep a spare drain/stand pipe (XR852333) because some are overtight or the locking sealant sticks it tight. The later ones should be TORX and early ones were ALLEN.
The TEMP range for fluid level checking is stamped on the rear of the gearbox.

No, do not drive first. You know I thought something was missing from that procedure. The level should ideally be checked at 100 deg. F, but the allowable range is 80-20 deg. F.
Driving the car first will most assuredly take the temp too high. The intent is to use a scantool capable of monitoring the trans temp while doing the level check. Not everybody can do that.
Good luck!
