Had a drip on the garage floor so I bought the finned aluminum cover, 2012 F250 SRW. Got it installed and could only get about 3 qt in it is that correct. I scooped out what I could from the bottom wells on the sides. If I put more in it just runs out, wheels are on the floor. Cover does look nice but no one will see it with camper behind it.

if the cover is larger than stock it will change the fluid capacity. Just fill it till the fluid is at the bottom of the fill hole and you're GTG.

I have been considering spending some money on one of those covers too. At one site (Amazon perhaps?) it looked like there might be a groove in the mating surface for an o-ring. Is that correct, or is the mating surface flat?

There is a groove in the mating surface but I have not seen a o-ring for the cover. I use the line as a guide to put the RTV around

I got the Mag hytec it had the reusable gasket I had done the black rtv twice and it started leaking again so i ordered the mag hytec no issues since. Plus before I thought it was ok to jack at the center after filing it I have not made that mistake ever again.
