===========================

ATF+3 is absolutely fine, and it's OK to just keep adding until the
level is correct. If your dipstick has a level for COLD fluid, start
with that; then start the engine, idle it and shift through all the
transmission ranges, and check again; add if necessary. Then let it get
thoroughly warm; you can warm it up faster at idle with parking brake on
and wheels blocked if you wish; just don't be tempted to "blip" the
throttle. Check fluid again when it's fully warmed up, and correct the
level if necessary. Drive it carefully and observe how the transmission
shifts, if the fluid did indeed all drain out of it.
