where is the oil level on the dipstick when the car is running. 4 liters seems a little too much for topping up

I'm guessing it's an issue with the shifter cables or linkage.

And yeah, 4L is probably way too much. I did a trany fluid change on my wife's 94 accord and it only took about 2L....

Try moving the shifter slowly, first into R and wait. You'll feel the car jerk a bit and the rpms will drop slightly as it shifts into gear and puts load on the engine. If it doesn't do any of this (actually remains in park), then there is something wrong with the shifter cable, linkage or one or more of the shift solenoids.

First things first, follow the correct procedure to determine if the trany fluid is at the proper level and drain or top up accordingly. I believe you have to check the trany fluid level with the engine running (in park) and at operating temperature (not cold).

you should be able to do it cold or hot if it has the cold and hot marks on the dip stick

yep most cars have dipsticks with both hot and cold markers on them for the tranny fluid
