Default Oil change-all 4 quarts???

This should be another simple questionthread that goes way the fock off on a tangent. Like my derby cover/floorboard question did.But here goes. With 3 1/2 qts dip stick reading is low. Put in 4 on hot engine and I think its a little above full-hard to tell yhe dipstick is close tothe same color as the clean oil. Whatta you guys put in? 05 Electra classic

On my 07 Ultra I rode to warm up drained changed oil filter and added 4 quarts. Right on full mark.

I buy my Amsoil 20W-50 by the gallon. I just pour in the gallon and it's good to go. Perfect every time... '05 Electra Glide with oil cooler.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the 07 96" motors running hard...going to Sturgis last year on my 06 RK, when I filled up to the line (hot), I got blow-by from the A/C; I'd find oil droplets on my right bag. When I ran at the 1/2 mark (hot), it never spit any out. I've been reluctant to fill all the way since then.
