Not that it hasn't been factored in for the situation at hand in the thread... but that 1-1/2 quarts in the lines and the 3/4 quart in the filter needs to be included in the total oil system capacity.

And how much oil is up inside a running engine. Then factor in oil drain back issues from the cylinder heads to the oil pan. I'm getting carried away here... but there is more to it than knowing my oil pan holds X quarts of oil !
