Default How to check M6 Fluid Level

The manual says remove the filler plug and see if the level is up to the bottom of the filler plug hole. but what if its right under the hole outa sight, then you would get a false reading. anyone know a real accurate way to check it??

Pull the filler plug, squirt fluid in until it starts to run out of the hole. Put plug back in. Dont over think this.
