I would think that it would be tough to get the same amount of fluid back in. Did you have a hand pump / electric pump.
I didn't drop the pan, but just drained and refilled thru the hex bolt. I didn't have a new filter at the time. So it was more or less just refreshing the fluid. But now I bought a new filter and gasket for the pan. So I just waiting for some better weather. Maybe in the spring.

By the way I used a fluid hand pump to pump it back in. Go to Home depot and get one of those hand fluid pumps for a one gallon container and Attched a tube to it.
