Yeah, you can get some fluid out either way... drawing it out of the fill tube is easier I think... & having it overfilled can be worse than leaking seals, it can froth the fluid & cause pressure loss, which will ruin the tranny.
But, my next question is: Have you already dropped the pan & changed the filter & fluid? This is often neglected on auto trannys & a clogged filter will ruin it real fast too. I know you just bought this 1... for me a tranny flush/filter change is on top of the list for newly bought vehicle. If you haven't already, I'd do that 1st & then refill to proper level. The cost of a tranny filter/gasket/fluid is a lot less than rebuilding a tranny. It's cheap insurance.
