Guess it prevents getting a false level if parked on a hill or something? Idk. But yeah if you’re adding 1-2 gallons at a time the gauge will keep going down until you add about 3 gallons at once, might be able to get away with 2.5, I haven’t gotten scientific about it.

We panicked and did the same with an overfill halfway through the pro I think last year.
Well that explains a lot lol thanks
