When fluid level is checked while trans is cold (not hot) it should be over the full mark.
When level is checked immediately after running and oil is hot, the level should be closer if not right on the dip stick mark.
Unless you checked the oil right after running the trans and getting it hot, you should be over the "full" mark.
The oil level on the stick increases as it cools and drains from the pump into the reservoir. They should have put a cold and hot mark on the stick.
