Good thing I didn't use the tick marks. When all was finished, the level was near the fourth mark
Luckily, I purchased this at my local autozone. Really made the refill part easy.

Measured 3 qts out of there and the dipstick shows it slightly above the top line after running it a few minutes.
The oil filter was the worst part. THe old yamaha filter would just not come off (type that didn't have a lock nut). Ended up using standard oil filter pliers and punctured the old one getting it off. Just hand tightened the new mobil 1 110.
No spills, the oil pan I got doubles as a carrying container and holds 7 qts (that I got at Pep Boys).
Just went for a ride. Shifting seems much, much lighter. The dealer had Yamalube 20-50 in there, and the clunk between 1st and 2nd is definitely jsut a clack now.
Also much less vibration in the pegs, so I couldn't be happier. If I take the bike in to the dealer for the 4k service, I am going to request that they not change the oil. Want to stick with the Rotella synth 5-40.
Thanks again for the invaluable info,
Scorpio
