[QUOTE="Abercrombie FJR, post: 1401310, member: 17489"] I'm guessing your just joking around but yes it does matter. I used to be that guy that always had to put a little extra in. if you turn the tire counter clockwise (forward) the correct amount will come out the fill hole and you will wind up short. If you turn the tire clockwise ( backwards) the fluid level will appear low and you can put a little extra in. Putting a little extra in never created any problems for me but others have reported oil coming out the breather on top and making a mess. Now I just fill to the top of the fill hole and give it a quick reverse spin so I can put the filler plug in with out forcing more oil out. [/QUOTE]
