Is the fill plug on tip-top or on the side-top. How can you over-fill? I thought it was fill to hole unless otherwise specified.

  This will work, but don't try it in winter in the north. Leave the quarts in the sun for awhile before pouring. Really better as far as I'm concerned to jack up the right rear corner, crawl under the van and pump it in a quart at a time. At least that's what I do and it's quite easy. Better control of how much you put in as well. I do the same with the front as well. Best to not overfill as it will leak out the front seal most likely.
