Oil capacity... after a head gasket change

Oil capacity... after a head gasket change
The owners manual calls for 3.5 quarts of oil for a standard oil and filter change... but I am wondering if anyone knows precisely (or roughly would work too) how much oil is required after doing an HG job with the oil loss coming from around the head itself and from the top engine. Thanks.

Maybe like 5-10 more ounces or something.

The distance between the dots on the dipstick is one quart. add 3 quarts or so until you can see it on the dipstick, then go from there. I also usually put some oil in the filter too.

Whatever works. On larger engines though pre-filling the filter is a good idea.
