So what’s the correlation with this?
You'll have to jack it up,to get the correct amount of fluid back in it.
i saw that. i plan to drain and remove the pan.. then jack it up from the rear with a level flush against the pan rail until level. then install new plan and fill
This is exactly what I did and what I'd recommend for the OP to do.
make sure to level front to back and side to side. You will likely need some higher jack stands than the standard 3 ton stands that most home garages have in them. You will also need some method to pump fluid into the pan upon refill. I've used this before...

I think you quoted the wrong guy,lol.I've been doing yearly fluid changes on my 8 speed since i blew the first one up back in 17,and put a brand new 8 speed in my truck.That's how i got the green sheet,thats fairly famous now,lol.make sure to level front to back and side to side. You will likely need some higher jack stands than the standard 3 ton stands that most home garages have in them. You will also need some method to pump fluid into the pan upon refill.

Now I have this and it's much much better...

That’s pretty common. Same thing when I did my first fluid change. Five quarts came out but 5.5 went back in. I suppose the factory fill isn’t done in the rocket science department.
Mine also took in a little more than what drained out. ~16k until my next drain and fill.
Would be interested in knowing this for sure, but would suspect that you would have to force a relearn via a computer or higher level scan tool. I know when I was in the automotive engineering world 10+ years ago you had to do it through a computer or scan tool. Don't think you would want to start a relearn just because you replaced the battery or the battery went dead (which is basically the same thing as disconnecting the battery......).
