Default Help a newb

I searched google and couldn't figure it out.
If I understand my service manual. my car only holds 1 quart of oil. This seems to be too low. is it right? if not how much oil does my car hold?

does that count the oil in the filter... aren't you supposed to add oil after you run it for a little bit

I add a little to the oil filter, prime the seal on the filter, then once everything is done I add oil to the motor until it is full. Start the car and let it idle for 5 minutes, check for leaks and top off the oil if it is low. Most every time i use 3.5 quarts and put the half of quart behind my seat to use ICE.
