How do you fill exactly 3 liters? Did you just remove the drain bolt and put in as much as you take out? Or did you put the car on jack stands and did 2 fills? One initial fill followed by the second after starting up the car and putting it in all its gears?

I found with the car on jack stands it's next to impossible to put the car in any gear other than D1, N, and R.
