ski_dwn_itGood addition but to be sure you'll need a dipstick. Length of line and other factors you will be guessing. You didn't want your main sump to be low.
Add 2 qts. Start the car with sump installed. After car oil pressure reaches full pressure for few seconds, I may rev mine slightly. Have someone close the valve. This traps the max amount of oil in accumulator. Then simply fill your oil to the normal full mark.
I do this every time I change the oil. It's the safest way but you'll need a dipstick or some other means to know. Didn't forget to open the valve or the accumulator will be out of the loop.
