Dean, how do you know the spec'd level was correct to start with?Seems like if using the 'quantity' method and not doing a complete disassembly, the way to do it would be to measure what came out, and put that amount back in, rather than using a published amount.
As to the short-cut quantity method vs the manual's level method comparo, that's easy to do. Pour in the measured 'capacity' quantity and then measure how much you suck out to achieve the spec'd level. BTDTx4
Look, if I'm going to change my fork oil I'm going to pull the forks so I can get a thorough flush/clean-out of the old oil. If I'm going to pull the forks I'm going to measure the new oil the way the manual and any reputable shop would.
Usually when the quantity method is brought up, someone is trying to rationalize not pulling the forks and/or removing the springs, and are trying to justify it/get acceptance/approval.
FWIW YMMV Whatever floats yer boat.
