All the advise thus far is good stuff. I might add - don't fill until it runs out. If I remember correctly, it's fill to within 9/16 of the fill hole bottom. As a practical matter, it should be at least that, but not much more. If you have a hard time fitting a wrench to the plugs, you can use a proper size (17 mm I think) bolt head as a wrench. Just jam two nuts together on the shank of the bolt and the bolt heat then becomes an Allen type wrench. I keep this setup in my tool box all the time. Makes up to about 1-1/2 inches long. Good luck.
