    ok so i drained my tranny one night instead of my oil. it was dark. yes im a retard. so the next morning i drove up the interstate to the car wash and noticed my transmission slipping. i drove home and discovered my mistake. i then emptied some oil out and drove to my mechanic. we filled it back up. no problems. now 2 weeks later my tranny has slipped a couple times. did i trash my tranny when i drove it 2 plus quarts low on atf?

    I get that accidents happen, but didn't the oil level on your dipstick cause some question or concern? I ask because I've never overfilled my motor by 5 quarts and would assume it would be obvious on the dipstick, but maybe not.

    Yeah you probably screwed up your transmission big time, not to mention engine since you added a ton more oil into your engine than it’s supposed to have.

    May want to do a complete drain and refil of both engine and transmission to make sure you get all the metal pieces out

    Well, I know for me I never check my oil dip stick since it’s so inaccurate anyhow. Granted I have a fumoto valve so I know I’ll never overfill or underfill it.

    I'm actually kinda surprised 5 extra quarts of oil in the motor doesn't hurt anything.

    Off topic but can you explain the reasoning behind the dipstick being inaccurate? Also explain how you know you'll never over/underfill.
