Dummy question: A/T tranny fluid overfill?
Dummy question: A/T tranny fluid overfill?
So I checked the fluids yesterday night. The oil consumption is about 3/16 inch (on the dipstick) for 300 miles. I guess that's normal.
Then I checked all the other fluids they are all ok except the AT tranny fluid.
It was 80f outside. I cleaned the tranny dipstick and inserted it back. Then pulled it out and checked the level. Surprisingly
it's way above the 65c full line. It was 2 or 3 inches above the F mark.
Last time the dealer added fluids so I've no idea what they did.
I know this is really stupid but do you think it's reasonable b/c I never know it can be that full. If that's real, does the overfill could possibly damage the tranny? Should I drain some fluid?
I tried couple times but received the same result.

this should be posted in the tech garage.
But, I don't think overflow of tranny is a terrible issue. I know that it's more difficult to change on an auto. Have you noticed any trouble with the gears? Does it feel more sluggish?
