Ok, again one person says no, someone else says yes. I'm going to try it without the friction modifier first, and if I think it needs it I can add it later.
I got a little oil on the driveway, but that was mainly what dripped out of the pump hose when taking it in and out of the filler hole and when changing the pump to a new bottle, and some trickled out of the fill hole when it got full. It was a pretty easy and clean job actually, I was surprised.
I ended up not using the reverse plug, I was able to raise the car up enough on the driver's side to get that last .6 quarts in thru the fill plug. I have two floor jacks so I put one at the front and the other at the rear jack point and alternated jacking up the front and rear a little at a time until I got it high enough, and I had jackstands under it for safety in addition to the floor jacks. Took me a little extra time to do that, but next time it will be a 30-minute job.
