You don't want to under- or overfill. Just add six quarts, drive it for a day or two, then check the dipstick with the oil warm and the car on a level surface. There's no need to worry about keeping the crankcase filled dead-on the F-mark.

Name any oil filter and somebody will tell you it's garbage. I agree with those above that the brand of filter doesn't make much difference; it's how often you change it that matters.
