Question for MagHytec rear end cover users

Are you filling the fluid level up to the full level on the dipstick or the fill plug?

The fluid will come out of the fill level plug before it even registers on the dipstick.

I went by the dipstick and it took 7.5 quarts.

Non modified factory rearend takes 4-4 1/2 quarts. That sounds about right.

I filled mine to the center of the crosshatch on the dipstick, that height was equal to the fill level of the fill plug on the stock cover.
