Is coasting bad on my Automatic transmission?

I just wanted to clarify that EOC stands for Engine Off Coasting. So "EOC (engine on)" would just be "Coasting"

Carry on...

Try an original idea like "Coasting in Neutral-Engine ON". Maybe CN or CINEO. Coasting an automatic could mean you have your foot off the gas in drive, or in neutral.
The OP was a question about coasting in neutral. Got any input?

EOC= Engine ON Coasting. I can create my own terms and abbreviations.

With all the automatics I've driven, foot off the accelerator will enable engine (or transmission) braking and under some circumstances fuel cut (DFCO). I consider coasting with an automatic to only be when shifted into neutral.
