How many Qts of ATF did you put back in ? Make sure the car is running , on a level
surface , and the trans is decently warm . 5 Qts is what it takes with just a pan drop
with filter change .

did you ck it with the engine running-you have to look at both sides of the stick, sometimes the stick will lay against the tube, give a false ind. that it is higher, look at both sides of the stick, the lower side should be correct

I think the dealer is over fill it, cause the level alway seem to be over the hot mark. even at cold temperture.

Update, this morning I check the level again ( COLD ENGINE ). and it way over the hot mark, so I pump 2 quart out and it drop back down to low mark . My question is.

can I drive the car now, to get the tranny get hot, so I can check the level. even the dip stick show low level when cold.

yes you can drive it just take it easy and dont beat on it. If I remember correctly you just have a low mark and a cross hexed area on the dipstick. If that is the case then you want to fill it until your fluid level (cold) is at the bottom of the cross hexed area. Once you have driven it and got the fluid hot, then it will expand and move into the cross hexed area.
