I'm using Maxima 75W90 gearoil.

Was looking through it over the past few days and noticed it takes about 680ml it fill it to the top mark on the dipstick. This is when it's cold.

After riding around abit, the oil level surpasses the top mark and now, it becomes overfilled and stats to vent.

I then drain oil about 130ml of oil so that the level goes down.

Very good, no venting.

The next morning, when the oil it cool, it shows low oil on the dipstick.

Which level should we be filling it up to? The low because it would expand when hot? Or the normal level? But that vents when hot.

By the way, I brought the level back up to about 630ml. It shows it's overfilled when hot but didn't have to chance to go constant at 70mph to check if it vents.
