You'll need to top it off at least.

you are going to have to continue to check the fluid.... as the converter fills up your level will drop... you also should stay out of the gas and do not brake stall the converter for a couple hundred miles... i know thats what yank tells you to do.... it says you could damage the clutches

I went 500 miles with my Circle-D multi-disc and FLT Level7 which were done together, it may be less for just the converter though...

I thought the CD converters came with some sort of paper work on this but I could be wrong. I would either call Chris direct, shoot him a pm or go here...http://www.circledspecialties.com/askchris.aspx

When I ordered mine, I talked to Chris and he said make sure it goes through the gears and locks up. Then let er rip... Even tho I didnt because I had to break my trans in to.

No real break in on a converter. Install, road test, check fluids, go to track.
