When the brake booster pump is changed, how much oil is drained from the engine?

Not much at all because the part is above the oil level in the pan.

I've had the booster replaced 2 times, on separate vehicles.  1st time the dealership spilled quite a bit of oil changing the booster...so much so that I thought the engine had sprung a severe leak.  IIRC, I had to add about .75 quarts of oil.  The 2nd vehicle had no spillage evident and when brought home, the oil level was normal.

 

I would simply recommend checking the oil once you get the car back to verify...(assuming the dealership is doing the recall work)

Thanks for the information. I ended up getting the in touch with a trusted source at the dealer who said 1/2 to 1 quart. 

 

The current issue was actually my next oil change. I prefer to change my own oil (due to time not sitting in a waiting room primarily) per the oil life meter. We got the truck back and headed to my inlaws 19 hours away with 16% left on the meter. My thought was if they replaced 4 quarts I would be good to get back home and do it in my garage. I ended up going to the drive thru place yesterday and gave them the oil/filter I brought with me. That also validated why I change my own oil as I: 

- don't need to be sold your insanely marked up windshield wipers

- now have to smell the oil that was dripped/dumped because the tech couldn't handle a jug and funnel to save his life

- don't need to watch you round off the phillips screws that hold the air filter on and then not be able to figure out the correct size of the bolt head (its 10 mm you utter dumbass) to show me the air filter and ask if I want to pay $45 for a filter you bought for $7. 

 

Now I know to give up on the last 16% of oil life and spare myself the misery.

I feel your pain. Lol....I too don't like to wait for an oil change, so i do it myself. The last time I had the dealer do it under the free Certified service, it checked a quart low when I checked it the next day. Hard to find anyone I trust anymore.
