and if you start your engine for a while it generally does lower the oil reading on the dipstick since the oil is gettin run around your engine... i dont kno if u should put the whole .5 quarts in, but i would pour in until the dipstick reads that it's about full.

No he means liters (philippines). And yes add more just so long as the oil is between the first and second line. You check you oil after it has had a chance to circulate.

just checked my oil after running the car. The oil is now EXACTLY on the 2nd line of the dipstick. That should be OK , right? All in all I used 4.2 liters of shell HELIX ultra 5W50 fully synthetic oil.
