Yeah I guess machines require precision, whether you are dealing with vehicles or computers, etc!!

Upper is full , you want it between the marks, iirc it should say on the stick?

I'm not sure if it says that on the stick, I never noticed any writing on the stick just the 2 holes in there. I had the engine running but I don't think I had it in neutral when I last checked it.

I will check it in neutral with the engine running and see what it says..
