Default How much oil in a b16?

Ok, well I put 3 quarts of 5w30 in the fill cap on the valve cover. I let it run for like 5 minutes and turned the car off, checked the dip stick, and theres barely any oil on it when I check it. Is it because I need more or what? The car is running fine, the oil lights not on, its not heating up, and no odd noises.
