Back when I used dino oil I worked out the math on how much to raise
the d/s wheels (used the same 2x6s that I carry for leveling) to get
an angle that a drip out the fill hole would put the oil at the
correct spot when all was level.  Since going to Redline I have never
bothered, just fill it to the bottom of the hole.

As for the color of used MT90 -- I don't recall it being very dark
when last I changed it.
