Are you SURE?

In my experience those things are very tricky to get right. I even had the
dealer miss it by about half a bottle when they did it. I checked it, it
was right after I got home. But the next day it was off the bottom of the
stick low.

There are lots and lots of nooks and crannies in those things that means
that if you drive on a hill after "fillling" you could end up low again
becase a bit more ended up in some out of the way place in there.

Checking ATF is something you gotta do while its cold, then while it's warm,
and then after following the instructions in the manual to the letter. Then
do it again the next day and it will read differently. Just use a
statistical method, fill it a bit if it looks low. I took me two weeks of
checking it twice a day (before leaving for work and after getting home) for
it to stop acting wierd. I put a bit in each time it came out low and
eventually it worked the way I expected and has not been a problem since.

Check your schedule for change, it might be close enough that it's time to
do it anyway... as you could have some sort of sticking or other problem
going on.
