    Better more oil than less.
    There's approximately fuckall chance these engine will piston slap oil/ foam up unless you have seriously overdone it.
    I don't know quite the amount, but probably over 16 litres.
    They're long-stroke diesels. Over-full on the dipstick is well within "she'll be right mate"

    (Though if you do, please let us know how much oil, for future generation's sake)
