re oil
I would think that you will have around 9 quarts once your oil lines, filter, and cooler are full. I know that my oil cooler and lines take a quart to fill them and then the fileter will take about that much depending on how long the lines to it are. As for the stock dip stick once the car is full and you have ran it, take a long CLEAN wire that is straight and put it down the dipstick tube until it touches the bottom of the pan. Then pull it out and measure where the oil on it is compared to your dipstick. Just put the wire even with the bottom of the dipstick on a bench or something and look to see where it shows. If it shows full then the dipstick is ok. Otherwise you will at least know where the stock dipstick reads when the car is full of oil and you can use that to get another dipstick that reads correctly. That is the method I used and it worked just great.
