Imagine how much oil it takes to fill the oil feed, thats how much more you need. Or you could be smart and just start the car and then check the oil.

No extra oil is needed. You'd run just fine with 3 quarts or 5 quarts.....4.something is good enough

I don't know about 5 quarts. That's way too much.

That's why you measure it cold
