Your picture would therefore show it way over filled.
Thanks
Dude you can't just install it & say ok the level marks must be correct because the internet said so. . For one this off of Ebay advertised as from a 2007 350z but for some reason it had this extra little flange that does not apply, so who knows what it's really from but I got it to work. Once you get it in then you can go through the process of checking your level from the inspection overflow hole at 104deg F, which I will do once I drop the pan & install my Trans Temp Gauge. My trans is at the same level it was when it left the lot.

Thanks
You always check an auto trans fluid level after shifting through the gears so the fluid fills the torque converter & starts to pump pressure/ fluid in the lines.

I checked the level cold for just a base line & it was still above the indicating marks.

Once again YMMV
