I do not have exact answers to your questions, but when I filled my 2 tooth, I filled it to the bottom of the filler threads. I did rock the steering back and forth to help the oil settle.

Checked the following morning and it settled down an additional 1/8" below the filler plug threads.

Left it there, and nothing has leaked out - that was about 4 weeks ago.
