    FIll to the level of the filler hole. Level is not that critical, but there is no reason to have it any lower.

    May well have been the original - I don't think that oil changes are anywhere on the service schedule, and in any case there is no drain.

    That might explain why there is no mention of how much it needs.
    And by the smell of it there was a good chance it was the original
