Great thread Unspec!!!

For those who have done this without the pan removal, how much fluid can I expect to drain?

Another question; without pulling the pan, if I start with the car tilted rearward towards the drain plug instead of level, can I expect to get more fluid out? I would then level the car before filling.

This is based on Unspec's comment regarding not tilting the pan rearward during removal to keep the fluid from draining out of the filter. Or are we talking about an angle that's not practical to jack the car to?
