It made sense to be about 1 quart between the dots, but I think it is more than that based on my measurement.

I filled it around 80% full which is on the upper range of the dots. I don't want to over-fill it.

I aim for about 75% "full" but some engines seem to like a little more or a little less.

To sum it up: no hard and fast rules.

Owner's Manuals sometimes have that info. Or, in this case, maybe the FSM.
