Over-full is over-full. Just make darn sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and you are checking it according to the instructions in the owner's manual. Otherwise you will get a false reading. IMO, if it is over-full drain some until it is at the full mark. Now, it might be fine if it is just slightly over-full but why take a chance? Replacing transmission seals is very expensive.

What happens when too much transmission fluid is put into a 2002 Lincoln LS V8?

Changing the transmission fluid in your LS should be performed by a qualified service technician. There is a fairly comprehensive procedure for servicing the transmission and it requires that the fluid be checked hot and cold. Too much fluid in your transmission will cause it to jerk when putting in and out of gear, the shifts will be choppy and it may even feel like its slipping, and finally there is an overflow valve that will cause the excess transmission fluid to leak out and onto the floor beneath the transmission. A qualified service technician will know how much fluid is enough and how to get it out.


Why would excessive transmission fluid be coming out of the overflow tube?

It is important to keep fluids from leaking from a car. Excessive transmission fluid would be coming out of the overflow because there is too much fluid in the transmission, or because the seal has become worn.
