Damn ATF fill plug!

Hey ziner just wanted to create a thread lol
But anyways i just did a 3x3 atf change did it all in one day 5 min of driving in all gear between changes and i think all wen well. I think i over filled it to the upper dot but i guess it wont hurt. I used a funnel and some vinyls tubing to filled up thru the dipstick since my fill bolt got rounded and using hulk power didnt work.
So heres a pic of how I filled up!

Out of curiosity...you know what size tubing you used? The tubing I thought would work turned out to be too big for the ATF dipstick opening.

The fill bolt on my TL I've gotten off with a little elbow grease, but on my MDX it's on there tight as all hell and I've broken quite a few extensions trying to get that thing off.
