I always dump a qt or so in it, then run it for about 30 sec to a min and recheck and fill to where it needs to be. Ive never, even doing my trucks at work relied on x amount of oil in the case. I put in just under what should be full, run it to fill the filters, and then top off.
Also if your engine is suppose have 1 and 2/3 qts of oil in it, it wont hurt it to have 1 1/3 to start it then top off.
