ATF drain (1 Viewer)

First attempt at a transmission fluid change.

On a pretty level driveway with medium-hot transmission (didnt measure the actual temp), I removed the overflow plug (5mm allen)...I was surprised that 1.5Q came out of the overflow plug.

I removed the drain plug and another 1.1Q came out.

Overflow plug - drained 1.5Q
Drain plug - 1.1Q
======
2.6Q Total amount drained from pan

Does this seem odd? I expected only a little to drain from the overflow and thought 2Q would flow from the drain plug. I refilled with 2.6Q.

You're supposed to open the overflow at a specific temp. But whatever. Just put back new fluid of the same volume and it'll run the same
