About 3 to 3 1/2 quarts. that should put you at 3/4 up the site glass.

Which cooler?
Secondary cooler?
Do you also drain the cooler(s)?
Which remote set-up?
What size filter?

My empty system will take 4 3/4 quarts. That leaves me at just a hair over the low line on the sight glass while running.
Just don't overfill it.

Once you FIND how much is good for the type of tracks you run( some may push oil out if over filled)  I drain the oil into a Paint bucket that has the scale on the side.  Put in the same amount you took out

Some will also break the crankshaft if overfilled
