Well I made sure to run the car before I did the change. Honestly though i wasn't quick about it. I thought just having it warm was enough. So I shouldn't bother doing it cold? 
  
I think I saw the vid you are referencing, but i only remember something about running it thru the gears is all.  
  
Can i try one of those large jacks and just keep the fill side up in the air to get that last quart in?  
  
Thx again.
