Help Transmission Question

[JJVG]

I'm changing my manual trans fluid. I check online for specs & how to. They say the trans will take just under 5L of Dex 3 ATF. They show were to drain and were to fill. They show that the fill hole is the one with the sensor in it. My drain is on the pass side and so is the sensor. On the drivers side I have a fill plug. It sits lower than the sensor. Using the fill plug I can only put 3L in. Much less than the popular thought out there. I'm sure if I used the sensor hole I could put 2 more L's in. Do any of you have an answer for me.

By the way I was only able to drain just over 3L as well.

There is some video in YouTube to tell you how to do it.

Well I think I know what I did wrong. When I jacked up the car the front was about an inch and a half lower than the back so I guess that kept approx 3/4 of a litre from draining. But that still doesn't answer the fill plug issue. Is the z06 transmission different than the base model?

On snapon shop key website it says 3.9l for overall the transmission, I did check 1998 to 2002, all the same.
