If you were able to get it all out which you cannot, it would be 11.8L (12.5 Qt). If all you did is drop the pan, you're closer to 4 quarts.

If it's overfull it will cause problems with the transmission but it should be easiest to tell with the dipstick.

If the dipstick reads right, don't worry about it.
