Then, with engine still running, check dipstick for level. You'll notice it says cold, warm, hot on the end of the dipstick as it is relative to the engine temperature. If low, add small amounts until correct or drain completely and refill according to manual.

Just wanted to mention this for good measure .... eeek, haha, I wasn't even trying to be punny there. Yikes, lol.
Yeah I wouldn't have know to do all of that except I read the manual first. So I did go through the correct process. I would not have if I didn't check the manual first. Thanks for the tip.
