What do you guys think about overfilling with oil just above full mark when the unit has set for five minutes after warming up? Reason I ask is because I was doing some vertical rock climbing and it lost the oil out of the converter and we had to manually pull the machine off the rocks. After some research apparently the rincon guys just overfill the oil to help prevent this.

I personally keep mine at the top mark on the dip stock when on level ground. I've climbed some steep hills with no problem. Personally I wouldn't go over the full mark.

I also keep mine right at the full mark and have never had any issues going up steep grades.
