Fluid is Amsoil ws flushed at home.

Two things about the comments above.

I have never seen a flush machine in service at a shop that doesn't use the transmission pump and uses an external pump, but i guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.

The proper way to get the right ATF level is to put the tcu in service mode, and let excess ATF drain out when the light comes on.

Best way to do that is after you flush/filled whatever, start car and activate service mode, fill until ATF drains out (when cold), hand tight overflow plug to stop any leaks, wait until light comes on, immediately open overflow to allow excess to drain to a small drizzle. Torque down overflow.

The ATF expands when at operating temp, you will loose very minimum amount of fluid and ensure you have 100% the right amount of ATF.
