.2 quarts isn't gonna hurt it! Come on!

When I bought my wifes Saturn, the thing shifted a little weird, so I checked the fluid and couldn't get a proper reading...very specific process on the Saturn so we bought it anyway she was driving it for a few days and complained so I drove it again. To get to operating temp then sat at idle for another 3mins like the manual says then checked it....it was showing that it was too low and it was also foamy, which told me it was overful...but it was a bit dirty so I decided to change it. I bought a new filter and 4 quarts of fluid(takes 3.5) and drained the tranny.....well I ran out of bucket because it had 7 QUARTS OF FLUID IN IT! Well I drained it put in a new filter and filled it to spec and checked it and all has been well since October! I guess we got lucky, but I doubt that .2 quarts would make a difference in his T-5.
