Every manual I've ever seen says to run it for 3 to 5 mins, then shut it off for 3 to 5 mins, then check it.
Ill run em for 2 to 3, shut it off, and go inside for maybe 10 mins, wash my hands, get a sip of water, then check it. im not sure it really matters that much. You want oil circulated into the engine, and then you want it drained into the oil pan. Giving it a couple minutes for each should be plenty. Remember it doesnt have to be exactly on the upper level line, just " between" the lines.
How much oil did you put in it? Spec is 4 qts 3.2 oz with filter, but mine was over the upper limit line at 4 qts.
