An interesting observation....I wonder if that's what I'm experiencing. Just did the ATF on my 91 300D. Drained pan and TC and let things drain for several hours...and replaced filter. Added EXACTLY 6 liters. Drove it around the block. This morning (car running, cold ATF) the level is at the min mark, whereas it should be 12mm below min mark. Guess I'll just drive it for a while and see if it drops a bit.

It can easily take several hours to re-establish the correct level.
