Fill the crankcase to the level specified on the dipstick and then fill the oil filter canister.

I like to add 5 quarts to the crankcase, start the engine for a couple minutes, and then top off at the crankcase to the full mark on dipstick.

Skip the potential mess of adding oil to the filter canister.
