Is there a how-to on this, just had a quick look and couldn't see one, i may be keeping my baby after all so i want to know everything there is to know about keeping it tip top....

I'm not sure there is specifically but plenty of posts on it if you search.   Its in the book of lies too.

Yes, remember creating that one....

quite entertaining trying to keep the hose I was using off the hot exhaust I seem to recall    

You don't mention the changing gear bit while topping up Mark .  How necessary is that to get the level correct?

Not important of just topping up (as the galleries should already be full).....more essential when doing a change.

The guide is for topping up so in that case the box should already be primed. If you are changing the fluid completely (ie. dropping the sumps and cleaning / replacing the filter) then it is necesary to engage each gear to allow the fluid to flow.

EDIT... I wish I could type faster!

thanks - I'll be checking it again when I next do an oil change.

..maybe worth a comment on the guide as I am sure many people use this when doing an ATF change..?

Now that is a very good idea...

Also, a 500cc syringe with a long tube might help, both to empty the main sump before dropping it (to minimise spillage), and also for topping-up afterwards....
