Yes, and I'm not sure. It should be mostly full, as it doesn't leak
(much), and I didn't see copious amounts coming out when the greasy side
was up last fall. But I ought to check.
However, I don't think popping out of 3rd is related to oil level... :)
It occurs to me that this would be a perfect time for a 5-speed, but I
just don't have the dough. I just sent Uncle Sam a nice big check
today...
