I have found that if you fill until it runs out of the fill hole and then close 
your eyes and take a nap, once you awaken you can top it off again. Also, your 
wife doesn't bother you because she thinks you are working on the car.

Sorry about the prior no-content reply.  What I was trying to say:

If you both drain thru the plug and undo and clean the big brass plug
you may find you need to fill as described, then run it a bit and fill
some more.  IOW, I don't think the oil finds its way back into the OD
unit until the thing has been run and you could get a false 'full'
read at the fill plug.

If this is not the case someone will straighten me out.
