[AT] Gear case oil: If a little is good, a lot is better?

[Ken Knierim]

Careful about making oil there Dean. You're not an oil company and
they don't like the competition. :)

Might there be a misprint in the book on the capacity? Or could it
have been overfilled by water or something? Of course, you'd see the
water in whatever you're draining out, but maybe not if it was getting
something like hydraulic oil in there from someplace (I don't know if
there's a way to get it in there on an M).

Just thinking out loud.
