2014 town and country transmission fluid capacity

Just changed the transmission fluid for the first time on a 2012 Journey with the 6speed 62TE at 35,000 miles. I was surprised that I drained 6.4qts - and that was measured cold at 70degree F since it sat overnight. I read that I should have drained about 5.5qts on a pan drop and refill, so I was both pleased I got a lot of old fluid out and confused at the same time. I measured it with a graduated cylinder, so the measurement is pretty spot on. Unfortunately I didn't measure it before the change since I assumed my precise measuring method would suffice. I don't question the amount of fluid that I removed, since it was all contained and even the old oil jugs agree with the volume, albeit less precise.

After I did the change I did some more research to find the temperature compensation charts. I refilled with 6.4 qts because I had no performance issues before the change and don't seem to have any after the change. The dilemma is that when I use the oil dipstick and measure the fluid level, I am getting 2-1/8 to 2-3/16-inch at 160F transmission temperature based on the EVIC, which means it is overfilled. It also probably means it was overfilled from the factory or my measurement method is way off since no fluid has ever been added. I siphoned out 0.3qts and the new level is at 1-7/8-inch at 150F. So a target fill at 150 should be 1-3/8-inch, which means I should remove another 0.3qts or a tad more. This would put me closer to the 5.5qts that most folks are getting. I am a little hesitant to remove any more fluid due the sensitivity of these transmissions on fluid level, but it seems that almost all service shops and even FCA uses this dipstick/temperature method. For now I am leaving it as is.

I am curious if anybody else used the engine oil dipstick and a ruler to get similar results of high fluid level readings even with the factory fill? I've checked it after various driving trips and the results are very consistent assuming the temperature is in a similar range. But I would guess that a 1/4-inch change could be approximately 0.3qts based on my measurements. I'm not certain about this, though. I believe from hot to cold that the fluid expands by volume of 0.45qt at the maximum assumptions, which corresponds to a change on the chart of about an inch. That is 70F (21C) going up to 160F (71C). That math is .001/C *50C * 9qts = .45qts. Hence, this is pretty believable math and it is easy to see why plus or minus 1/2 a quart could be a serious problem of under or overfilling.
