Halfords used to sell a suitable tool, like a bar with multiple large protrusions on it. Like those four-way wheelbraces you see that have a different size socket on each corner. The idea was that the same tool covered most filler plugs. Some were square as I recall.

I think you're right about the level - make sure the car is level, then fill the box until it starts to run out of the filler hole. Often helps if you put the bottles of gearbox oil in warm water to make it easier to pour.

A spending the last hr in the shed the best thing that i found to fit the plug was a 10mm allan key and file it down to fit it dident take long to do and i now have a tool for life.
