Ordered a Mag-hytec diff cover

So I order a Mag-hytec diff cover for the Sterling 10.25 axle. I just wanted to see if anyone else here has one, and if so, do you fill it to the stock fill level or what Mag-hytec recommends? I have read some people saying that filling it beyond the stock level it may cause the axle seals to leak.

Personally I'd just run the OE level unless towing heavy enough to worry about temps- higher fill will assist in cooling. The cover will obviously help with that, and probably holds a little more to begin with. I run one on my other rig (dana 80) which I tow pretty heavy now and then (dozer).
