Default Cam tensioner was ok

and when I pulled the cover I lost maybe a 1/2 qt of lubricant. Isn't that just the motor oil I need to replace?

I'm assuming its alright since the front one was in such good shape and there was zero residual plastic or anything else anywhere.

The condition of the front one can't be used as in indicator of the condition of the rear one.
