My recollection is that the little epicyclic pump doesn't hold much.
If you are concerned, fill it, run it, check it.

Sorry about the prior no-content reply.  What I was trying to say:

If you both drain thru the plug and undo and clean the big brass plug
you may find you need to fill as described, then run it a bit and fill
some more.  IOW, I don't think the oil finds its way back into the OD
unit until the thing has been run and you could get a false 'full'
read at the fill plug.

If this is not the case someone will straighten me out.
