Big thanks to all who added their input to my request, I forgot to mention I used the RYCO Z115 filters as @mihit mentioned some filters are bigger than others, also I had a PM wondering if the dipstick may not be OEM and I can honestly state this is the original that has served me for the 18 years plus that I have owned this vehicle. Also I have done previous DIY oil changes on this vehicle many times but my reference material for this task was written on my last residence garage wall and I don't have access to that information any more.
At this point I now have 10.5 Liters in the old girl and now the dipstick reads just over 3/4's full, I am going to leave it at that for now and see how things go but at least I feel more comfortable knowing the engine will not be starved of lubrication.
