I really couldn't tell ya, I just filled it up on to the max on the dipstick...any variance that the oil lines has is not going to move it out of that range
I went to the hardware store and got a T fitting but couldn't get it to thread the block. Oil sensor threads easily into it but won't thread the block. Did you use flare fittings to thread the block?
I have the exact same element and plan on going a similar route as soon as I can find a new daily. Can't wait for more of this series, you're doing great.
