Most likely explanation is your car is not perfectly level. Whether it's how you jacked it up and supported it on four jackstands, or the floor or driveway you're using slants sideways slightly, it can throw the fill line off. In any case, you don't want to overfill your tranny, so three quarts should be plenty.
