Whoa! You just said you put THREE quarts in this?! You don't see evidence of a leak anywhere? May have separate trans fluid cooler up front or if in radiator check that it isn't in there either.

None of this sounds good,

That's plain too low for it to have been. Are you sure you checked on level ground, warmed up engine at least, in park at idle? Sitting alone shouldn't be the cause - if that's a true reading there's a leak and may have been slow but not good for it at all,
