Oil Change Questions

[xlr8nflorida]

I just changed my oil and am waiting over night for the oil to settle so I can get an accurate oil reading.

It's been sitting all day and on the dipstick I am at the A in ADD below the hatch marks.

If tomorrow, I'm at the same point, How much oil is that? I'm thinking maybe I need to add a quart?

Also to be helpful in the future, who knows the exact amount of oil that comes out? I always see conflicting information:

Without Oil Filter Change 7.6 quarts
With filter change 8.6 quarts
With oil cooler drain and new filter 10.6 quarts
Complete system drain after engine rebuild 11.6 quarts

I added about a quart and I am in good shape now.
