You are unlikely to damage the transmission by putting the exact same volume back in..
You must still check the fluid level MANY times, adding as needed to correct for MINOR fluid losses..
The ounce of fluid trapped in the filter will be compensated for during top off.
I am getting several calls per day:
New owners performing this service, and putting to little back in + taking it for a drive that burns out the clutch discs..
