I add a little extra, but i run a oil cooler too. For just a feed line, i wouldn't add any.

The engine may take a little extra oil but don't over fill it. Just take it to the line on the dip stick. Extra oil is extra friction that equals less power. On my friends street bike we drained 1/2 a quart and gainded 4whp and it was still in the safe zone.
