uhh your low pressure oil pump keeps it full, ive never heard of anyone checking the fluid level on that. Sometimes guys will take that plug out and refil resivor after injector swap to help get truck started again.

It's suppose to within one inch of the top. As Lukecline said it's kept full by the low pressure oil pump which is pumping engine oil. It is not a typical maintenance check. Most people are checking the oil level in the reservoir if they are experiencing a suspected injector problem.
