Blade Oil Quantity

I know it's been asked a million times, but the search feature is showing me no love.

IIRC, I just put a gallon of oil in my 919 Blade, but it's been a while (never drove it much over the summer; too hot here in TX). With the new track day coming up, I want to put in the proper amount. What is the recomended amount? I remember it needed to be over filled but don't remember by how many quart(s).

--Thanks, Chris

The manual says:

Oil Change: 3.5 litres/3.7 qt
With filter change: 3.6/3.8
After rebuild: 4.4/4.7

Not sure you want to be overfilling too much, you may cause more problems than you prevent (slipping clutch for one).

Yep I wouldnt overfill too much, to the top of the sight glass (if its a 919) with the engine stopped always worked fine for me, or to the top of the dipstick if its an 893.
