The CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL, unless dismantling the engine, should always be less than 4 quarts.

In the future, after draining the old oil and changing the filter, I will put in 3 quarts, and then slowly add the remaining amount according to what the sight glass says.

I have no problem with the sight glass vs dip stick. My problem is that the quantity of oil listed in the manual is incorrect, and finding the correct amount here on the forum is sort of like finding a needle in a haystack.

Start with 3 quarts... Gradually add more until the sight glass is reading correctly.

Sight glass and your procedure works for me.
