    Add oil until it's good on the stick. Then add one more for the filter. Call it a day.

    What he said... Mine always takes just under 5 quarts. I usually just fill it up till it reads full on the dipstick, fire it up and let the oil pressure come up, shut it off and add a little more as needed.
