Then added oil if needed to bring the level back to the top mark. This usually took most of a US gallon of T6 Rotella, $26 a gallon at Wal Mart back then. Used the OEM Honda filter as I did not see that great a difference in price with other high quality filters.

I consider this the standard process.

Maybe busy service garages don't wish to spend the extra time getting the sight glass optimally levelled.

For bike owners, they likely have more time flexibility and ought to be this thorough. This would also apply to dipstick implementations.
