Hi all, I've recently bought a 2002 toyota corolla wagon. I noticed the transmission fluid of the automatic gearbox has been overfilled.
This measurement was with a cold and switched off engine and on a level ground. Is this something I should be concerned about and can it cause damage? Should I have it drained to the normal level or is it ok to keep it this way? I didn't come with a manual so I'm not sure if i measured correctly.
Thanks, Jeroen

From the manual:
Drive the vehicle so that the engine and transaxle are at normal
operating temperature.
Fluid temperature: 70 – 80 °C (158 – 176 °F)
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
(b) With the engine idling and the brake pedal depressed, shift the shift lever into all positions from P to L position and return to P position.
(c) Take out the dipstick and wipe it clean.
(d) Put it back fully into the pipe.
(e) Take it out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT position.
