I normally dump an entire 4L jug in there each time, ends up a little higher than the hole. Just stopped that recently.

BTW.... Mobil1 synthetic kicks some serious ass
I think that if you fill it too much, i dont know the exact point at which this occurs, but your crankshaft will be too far down in the in the oil when it rotates. Although oil splashing on the crank is normal, if its submerged quite a bit it will cause the anti-foaming agents in the oil to break down quicker, it may also cause the oil to have air pockets which can then enter your system.
