Re: Convertible top fluid fill up Instructions
Just as a comment which may reflect on the oil level.
When a cylinder has the least amount of rod protruding from the cylinder body there is less oil in it than when the rod is extended. The reason for this is that the cylinder rod which is now inside the cylinder has taken up some of the volume which in the extended state is replaced by oil.
So unless the number of cylinders extended equals the number of cylinders retracted there would be a change in the oil level. Depending on the reservoirs surface area and the net amount of oil displaced this would be more or less visible.
Remember that all dynamic rod seals leak, if they did not leak the seals would be rubbing over dry rods this leakage acts as a lubricant between seal and rod. This leaking oil adds to oil loss, but unless the leakage is great due to a failed seal this will not affect the visible oil level for a long time.
