I used to not even open the oil cap on my Mercedes... just pour the 8.5 quarts of oil through the oil filter opening (it was wider, and quicker to pour through, than the cap).
When you say '
as much as you can before it gets to the spillover point'... do you mean on the filter itself, or are you talking about the oil filter opening (before you even put the filter in there) doesn't allow more than perhaps 1 qt of oil from going into the engine?
