Only problem with using the bottom petcock is that it is sort of like the add oil mark on a dipstick. If the tractor uses any oil, chances are if you are running it hard, it will drop below the bottom petcock before you are done. I have run tractors that needed to be overhauled and added oil in the morning and noon. If I had used the bottom petcock, chances are I would have had to overhaul sooner because of lack of oil. That's why I say to add slowly until it runs out the top one. With distillate/kerosene, the procedure was to open the BOTTOM petcock and drain until it stopped, the add oil until it ran out the top petcock. I don't know how low you can let it get, don't want to find out.
