"Bleed the system"... ahahah I have never heard of it being put that way.

I just say its overfilled.

Anywho, it's not rocket science, just take the drain plug off, and count about 5 seconds.

drop the front drain. it only holds maybe 3/4 of a quart or so from the looks of it (when i have it jacked for my big self to get under the thing). easier angle too, than the rear drain.
when i overfilled way back when, i found it easier to drain more than i needed -easier to top up than repeat the messy drain process.

Dude I work @ a lube shop. If its a half qt that needs to be dropped, we use a 5 second count.

I never over fill though
