When it starts spilling from the fill whole, that's when it's full. Good luck.

Simple Take Coffee can punch a small hole in the top lid (slightly smaller than the hose)push in a long piece of some type Clear hosing Bigger is better for rear end grease. then take the hose to the bottom of the can so its not near the top then using any type vaccum cleaner cut the lid in the coffee can top to fit the intake hose on the vaccume (I use my shop vac so I dont get any fluid on the wifes tornado).Then just turn on the vaccum and put your line down in the hole.
Do not do this with Gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bleed my brakes with the same system.
When Im done I put A new lid on and dump it in the recycycle bin at a Local place.No muss No Fuss
