You pump it in from underneath, you don't just fill it to the level plug on the side of the transmission. And, as dipstick notes, you need to monitor the transmission fluid temperature as the level has to be precise, at a certain given fluid temperature. There is a documented procedure in the manual, and probably reproduced on this site if you do a search.
