Default Performabuilt Level 2

Got the Performabuilt 4l60E Level 2 in so far I have been taking it easy on since it is still fresh and the truck still need to be retuned for it. I got it installed with a Circle D 2800-3200 Stall and a Tru-Cool 40k. I have been checking the fluid and it seems to be below the cross hatch area about 1/2" or so. I am curious if the cold weather and big cooler might be a factor causing this. A total of 11.5 quarts of Valavoline DEX/MERC were added at intallation does this seem about right? Should I wait to get it retuned and have it up to normal running temp. and then re-check or should just add a tad bit more for now?

I'd add more, performabuilt says that 1/2 under is bad, but half over is not. so having more is better then less.

I can vouch for this. My truck keeps blowing it out for some reason and now it just sits there.
