Hi all,
So I changed the lower unit fluid and silly me filled from the upper vent instead of from the bottom. It took the correct amount in total and I didn’t rush filling so I believe it’s correctly filled and presume since it fully filled with the correct amount and such that it doesn’t have an air pocket.
Looking for advice as I know it’s not a huge deal to do it again from the bottom but I’d prefer not to if I don’t have to.

Why not drain the oil and catch it in a clean container for re-use and put it back in correctly? Then you don't have to wonder the next time you drop the hammer.

A little trick to save time and effort. keep the vent closed, open the bottom fill and quickly insert your fill tube, then open the vent. You don't need to drain the whole drive and you will only lose a few drops.

Just fill it from the bottom and see if anything seeps out at the top.

No need to drain.
