Default Oil capacity

I have a repo factory oil pan with with a repo dipstick setup both from BOP. Also running a repo windage tray from BOP. The dipstick setup was spec'd for use with the tray. When I did the first oil change, it took 6 qts and was reading more than 3/4 qt low on the dipstick. BOP calls the pan a 5 qt pan (6 with filter).

So, do I put in 6 qts or fill to the full line on the dipstick?
