add 2 quarts of oil. install oil fill cap and start engine breifly, watch for oil at loose bleed screw. shut off engine, tighten bleed screw, and add 3/4 of a quart to oil tank. start engine and follow oil checking proceedure, run at 3-4000 rpm until warm, let idle for 30 sec, and shut off and add oil until at full mark.
one easy tip: after the inital 2 quarts, you can start the engine with the oil fill cap off and listen for the tank line to suck air, you will notice a change in the sound from the oil tank. it will not hurt the engine, because there is oil in the crank case.
