If you put 5ltrs of trans oil in you will over fill it by about 2 ltrs you gotta remember that is including the torque converter as well, when you do a trans service you in general only drop the amount of oil in the pan and that is about 2.5ltrs the converter holds the rest and wont drain unles you take out the box and converter and empty it which cant be done in the car unless you crank it dry which is not reckomended ok..

many auto trans problems are caused by the fluid level being too high, its always the first thing that should be checked for any problem

its not unknown for the wrong auto trans dipstick to be fitted in the shop either, giving a false reading

with some engine dipsticks, the retaining stop part can fall off, resulting in the distick going in too far, the resulting false reading has caused severe engine damage in 1 case I know of
