5 liters is probably too much, You should fill up with the amount drained + 0.5 liters (normally approx 4 liters -depending on the amount in the gearbox), then read gearbox oil temperature with diagnostic tool - when gearbox oil is ~ 60*c , open the smallest sump plug (inner plug - there is a levelling tube inside)
If no oil is coming out, add 0.5 liters and redo procedure.
If oil is flowing out, let it flow until it starts to drip (temp ~ 60*c) - then level is ok.

Reset auto adaptive memory + reset oil counter with diagnostic tool to tell it that it has new oil !

Hi Marko, the oil was drained from my DP0-005 just last week, about 3 liters came out.
the total capicity of the transmission is 6 liters but only half of that will come out when you remove the drain plug.
If you have filled with 5 liters then you'll have 8 liters in there now.
 I'd reccomend not using the car untill it's drained down to the correct level, better safe than sorry. The problem you describe could be due to too much oil/ incorrect oil pressure now.

when the engine is warm, take out the level plug ( the smallest one ) with the engine idling. At normal engine temperatures the transmission oil will be about the correct temperature.

if you need to add oil you can just pump it thru a tube up the drain tube/ level plug hole if your garage has the right equipment. I guess you know the reccomended oil is Elf Reanultmatic D3 syn.

good luck

3'rd gear is "safe mode" to make sure you can drive to the nearest worshop when a problem occurs with the transmission.

Try to take off and on the connector to the transmission computer - then check wiring - but ofcourse the best approach is to read out faultcodes.

There is also a potmeter-switch (gear selector switch) that perhaps needs to be calibrated.

hei Marko, in response to your PM, I haven't had any trouble with the trans in my espace which has 86000km on the clock now.
I guess as long as you change the oil occasionally, say every 2 years at least, and don't tow anything with the car it should be trouble free. It has very smooth gear shifts.
there are some documents available with some detail of the trans.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/6338026/AL4-Transmission   (this is the citroen version of the same unit)
http://www.matrasport.dk/Cars/Espace/vault/JE/3219A_JE_F4R.pdf

the filters are visable under the oil pump and in the valve block

the 4HP20 oil filter is inside the gearbox aswell, only way to change is by splitting the gearbox. Easier on the DP0 box.

You have a fault on the box, it could be wiring problem, valve problem, oil problem or sensor problem. It takes knowledge to get it right, but its a good gearbox if maintained correctly. I have a Scenic with 225.000km and 2.0 16v (F4R) on DP0 - working just fine. Flushed 4 times with D3 synt oil this summer due to hard gearchanges, after that it have been shifting nice and smooth even in -20*c and cold gearbox.
