Bill, What ise is a soda straw or small diameter flexible hose. Insert it into the fill hole start blowing into it while lowering. When you hear bubbles, stop and mark with tape. Next time if you goe below the tape line you need some. Do your directions call for a oil change after the first hundred hours of running like mine did? Yeah I know a little difficult to figure when that magic number has ran, but I would think that is approximate.
