I guess I have to go get out the Bently and reread that part tonight.
You are correct for the five speed, but not the six speed; the level in the five speed needs to be down a bit from the fill plug. Best tool for this is a bent wire or paper clip used as a "dipstick". The six speed is filled until it overflows.
