How much for an empty case?

Capacity? In total 2.5 quarts, but because you can't drain it dry while it's still in the car you can only really get about 2 quarts into it.

I have only ever filled it after draining it dry.

So how does one go about checking the oil level?

Open up the top plug and stick a finger in it?

Oil level is checked on level ground ... pull top plug ... oil level should be even with the bottom of the hole. I fill till some starts running out and put the plug back in. You can get a gallon of gear oil with a pump on it from your local FLAPS (or used to be able to).
