Three quarts even is plenty for an oil change. It prevents overfills, and if you buy the oil, avoids having a leftover partial bottle. Try it and see.
Oh, yeah. I let the car sit for an hour and checked it several times. When the dipstick was pushed in all the way, it read 1/4" above the full dot.

Now it is just below the full dot when pushed in all the way for a check.

I will always check it before I leave the dealer from now on.
