Too much oil?
Hey guys i was wondering do I have too much oil in my transmission?
Pictures were taken after the car was sitting over night, so the car was cold
Here is a picture of the dip stick

Looks like you could be over considering the oil is cold. How is the transmission shifting, any problems? You could use a mity-vac to pump some out. Take in mind you're not over by much at all. Could be over by a quarter of a quart more or less.
There are two sets of measurements, for cold and for hot. You could try warming up the engine to 80 degrees and try to read it that way, if it's substantially over and the car is shifting oddly, I would recommend pulling some fluid out, if not leave it alone.

no disrespect, but I don't think we can link other sites directly.
