Hi Graham,
The Factory Normaly Put a Sticker On The Top Engine Cowl Giving
Oil Quality And Engine Oil Capacity.
You Could Drain And Then Add The Correct Amount!
This Would Clarify What They Are Getting At.
There Must Be a High Full Mark And A Low Add Mark
The Figures In Between Must Be A Suggested Amount To Add To Reach The Full Mark
Hope This Helps
Regards
Gordon

There is no dipstick. The engine and transmission was designed by Isuzu up till 2002, and the automatic transmission was a sealed, no-maint. transmission. You will either need to purchase the special tools needed, or...........that's right, go to a transmission shop!!!
2 options--- replace the dusted motor (faulty air filtering system) or re-ring the engine. Go for the new engine as the dust will have worn the piston and bearings.
If you looked at the dip stick and saw nothing that is probably a bad sign. Most dip stick have markers on them in order to gauge how much fluid is in the transmission. Look at your dipstick closely and make sure you fill your transmission until it is between these markers. The markers are usually down by the end or tip of the dip stick. Be sure you do not over fill the transmission. I hope this helps you out at least a little.
The Sportster does not have a dip stick for the transmission/ primary oil. You just pour one quart of oil in through the upper inspection hole.
On a Big Twin, there is a chrome endcap on the right side of the transmission. In the end cap, there is a plug that usually takes a large hex key or Allen wrench to remove. It has the dip stick on it. Stand the bike straight up to check the oil level. It should be between the two lines on the stick. The transmission holds 20-24 ounces of transmission lube.
There is a dip stick located on the right side of the engine about 4 inches to the front of the oil fill cap.
Make sure you are on level ground. Unscrew the dip stick and wipe it off. Replace the dip stick and then remove again. Check the oil level and replace. If you need to add oil, remove the filler cap and add oil 1 to 2 ounces at a time. Check the oil dip stick to ensure that your oil level is correct.
NOTE: warm up your bike before performing the above checks.

If there is a dip stick to show you the level of the fluid in the transmission, the transmission fluid is added through the dip stick tube. With the dip stick out, place a funnel in the tube opening and pour the fluid into the funnel.
