ATF Fluid

Hello Everyone!

I have a 2003 Civic with 271000KM and a Automatic Transmission.

I did a Drain & Fill Today, I think i may of overfilled it.
Attached is a photo of where it is reading on my dipstick.

Is there any consequences of being overfilled in this amount.

Re: ATF Fluid

Did you check it with the engine running, or engine off?

...as E is getting at these vehicles are a dead check, so you check them while on a flat surface and engine off.

Re: ATF Fluid

You should probably adjust it, if it is indeed overfull.

Fluid level check is supposed to be done on a fully warmed up trans, and within 90 seconds of turning the engine off.

Honda is the only company I know of that wants their ATF checked while the engine is not running.

if you checked the level properly, warm transmission and engine not running, then that level is WAY too high, i would definitely drain some to get it within the correct high/low level,

overfilling is just as bad as underfilling,

anywhere within the high/low marks is fine
