They are marked; but, sometimes you don't get a full bottle.
They are marked and pretty easy to eye-ball it.... but I put the bottle on a scale and weigh it... then just keep re-weighing it until you've put the right amount in.....
:lecturef_smilie: Fluid ounces are not the same as ounces of weight. Different density materials have different weights per fluid ounce. The Ride-On bottles are marked in fluid ounces...and that should be what their specs are meant to measure.Quote:

I left the weights on, rides great with the Ride-on in.
I have left mine on also. If you are thinking about removing them, mark where they are at; so, if you decide you need them, you know where they go.
Also, if you warm the Ride-On it goes in much easier. I just set my bottles in a bucket of hot water for a few minutes.
hmmmmmm.... well, they must be pretty close then... because when I deduct 13oz using the scale I end up with around 3 left in the bottle according to the lines on the side........Quote:

How much is peace of mind worth?
How many bottles should I purchase for a gs?

The auto formula comes in 16 oz. containers. How much are you putting in the fronts and the rear? Not everybody puts in the same. But, 3 bottles should do it.
