I seem to be misunderstanding something in this procedure. After getting the new pan and filter back on, I was only able to add 1.5qts before it started spilling out. No amount of starting and shifting through the gears would allow me to add any more I filled through the drain using a VW tool. Is the fill and check procedure after running through the gears supposed to be done while the vehicle is still running or cold?
