I figured they gave you exactly how much you needed + whatever they figure an idiot like myself would bleed. That stuff is expensive.
looks like they have a page of instructions how to check the oil level, i want to assume they did it as instructed, but i'll find out when i drive out today. i guess the question would be, is the excessing whining noise coming is usually the sign of low Rotrex fluid?
