Question on Trans Oil Fill- 03 Tahoe

[Dantheman-2003]

I recently did a transmission flush, new filter etc. Took me a few top offs of fluid to get it back to the right level. In doing so, I think I added 1/2 quart too much. Here’s a picture of the dipstick. My thumb is the end point of the fluid when the engine is warm and running idle. In other words, about 1/4 inch above the second dot. Question is, how much is too much and should I pull some out?
Thanks,
Dan

Leave it, you will be fine. I think I would call it too full, with anything over a quart but transmission specialists will hopefully chime in.

Pull about 1/2 qt out when you get time but its not the end of the world for you or your transmission. Much better than a quart low below the min mark.

If you overfill the trans, the excess will be expelled from the vent tube on top of the transmission. If this isn’t happening, you’re fine.

I pulled about a half quart out. Seems more in range now. I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks all!
