I have the large capacity pan from AeroChia that someone was custom making for him (IO550N).
Eleven quarts is about the 6 quart mark on the dipstick. My engine seems to like between 5 and 6 quarts.
I use it like a most other engine dipsticks (ie, no numbers)- 6 quarts (indicated on the stick) being “full” and 5 quarts or so time to add a quart.
If I check the oil level and it would happen to be much below 5 quarts, I’ve likely got a problem that needs investigating as I don’t use much oil.
