Sure they do. Park on level ground, take out the fill bolt. Fill until it runs out. To check, you park on said level ground, take out the bolt, and stick your finger in to see if it's still level with the bottom of the bolt hole.

My wife's Malibu makes you jack up all 4 sides so that it's level, slide under the engine while it's running and THEN remove the level-checking bolt and check it while everything is going... so the Ranger is a walk in the park.

Have you reinstalled the shift boot?

The Mazda trans is kinda noisy because it uses thin oil that doesn't
damp the normal rollover noises

Agreed. I forgot my shift boot (DUH). There is a small amount of whine from gear to gear mesh. The boot is there for sound insulation. I'll get mine put back in as soon as I finish the book on procrastination..........
