Most people measure the amount they take out and replace with like if you are DIY and are not level on ramps etc. not a perfect level surface.
On the other hand, if you see lots of oil at shafts on gearbox, then you could have lost some.
I wouldn't sweat it. Part of the joys of running a car, even new ones you get this situation.
No need for a lift in a workshop - jack the car up, remove the NSF wheel then lower the jack back down until the car is level again. Block it when level for safety.
