My 2016 recently hit 30k miles and I did a drain and fill. I drained 4 quarts and replaced it with 3.5 quarts. My reading is just barely over the fill mark. Honda overfilled the transmission at the factory and it ran fine like that. When I spoke to the local dealership they told me when they do a drain and fill on the transmission they put in 4 quarts. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
