No, I didnt drain the tank. I measured the amount that came out of the sump and put that amount back in. 2.5qts.
It took me several days to do everything, and I didn't have any issue with it refilling and messing me up. Even with draining the sump, there is still oil that leaks out when removing the valve covers and return tubes. It wasnt much but have a rag handy.
To insert the tubes I used the radiator clamps and a screwdriver technique. I tried a couple of other tricks I saw online, but the clamps/screwdriver was the easiest for me. Valve cover gaskets and return tubes solved my oil leak problems. Dry as a bone now!
