That applies to engine off coasting. As long as the engine is running, the transmission should be lubricated by an engine-driven pump. In all but a handful of cases (maybe the above-mentioned jeep?), neutral with the engine on is just fine. It's engine-off that you need to check the manual for towing instructions.
