Without overthinking it, I would definitely not venture into the territory above the max line.
The lines are there for a reason and there's a fair tolerance between them. It's not that hard to get it right with a little common sense. Ignore them at your peril.... And stop being topography-ist!

‘Beacon Hill is the highest point in the English county of Norfolk. The hill is located 0.75 miles (1.2 km) south of the village of West Runton on the North Norfolk coast. At its summit the hill is 103 metres (338 ft) above sea level.’

Does that count as “Topography”?

Thank you Darkness, have a house point.
I didn't know that, but I've heard various claims to the highest point over the years depending on who's you listen to.
Norfolk is very interesting topographically, smart arses like Oscar Wilde haven't helped historically. If you want flat, you need to see the Fens..

It was a classified Cat 3 King of the Mountains climb on the 2010 Tour of Britain.

I keep one of those spray tops in the garage ( the kind you find under the sink with cleaning materials in them ) and then if I overfill with oil I just pop the straw end in the oil filler hole and using the trigger , spray oil into a suitable container until the level is correct. NB probably not a good idea to sneak it back under the sink if you nicked one that's still in use .

I used to work with a guy who said he was in the East Anglia Mountain Rescue Team at university. Apparently training consisted of going on 'expeditions', roped together and 'climbing' horizontally from one pub to the next ;-)
