Don't have this "problem" with my engine (Lyc O-235-L2C that came out of a bent C-152) but my experience flying C-182's and Piper Dakotas (essentially the same 230 HP six-banger Cont [if I remember right]) tells me that they think they're full between 1 and 2 quarts down. Still leaves about 6 quarts plus one if they've got a filter and I've put a lot of hours on them that way with no apparent problems. Always hated it when the plane came out of annual full to the brim with nice new oil - I'm sure I've contributed to the smog problem in LA by adding those top quarts of oil to the air over the city.
