I shriek:
Uh-oh.  I drained/refilled mine with the front on stands.  All 3 quarts went in.  In
fact, I was thinking of putting more in because it didn't quite fill up to the fill plug
opening.  Luckily, I only bought 3 quarts.  Anyway, I've had no problems yet (did
it several thousand miles ago).  Any particular seals I should be keeping my eye
on?

Is it possible that all of the fluid won't drain out unless it's tilted?  I can't imagine
that the small angle mine was tilted would allow _50%_ more fluid in than Ian's.
