Level UP reservoir fluid level?

When we picked up our 2014 3402RL with the Level UP system it had it's reservoir only 50% full with all slides and jacks retracted. With everything out it's 25% full. Never had a problem, but when I read up on the LCI instructions to use the anti-stiction Fork Oil to reduce the ticking sound the system makes when temperatures change, I saw that LCI says their reservoir are typically 2 quarts. Mine looks to be at least a gallon. The instructions assume the tank is within 1/4" of the top, then you drank out 1 quart of fluid to make room for the quart of Fork Oil. In my case, I could add the fork oil without draining any original oil. I still only have about 2/3 of my reservoir full with everything retracted.

Since everything works and I have added the fork oil, I guess I'm good to go, but I wonder if I'm the only 3402 build in 2014 that has this tank setup.
