Adding Oil to the right level on 6, My car also has a 911 oil Gauge Options

So, you guys may not know, but my 6 the 30th one down the line in Dec 1969 had a few mods from back in the day when it was a test mule for a Socal Porsche high performance shop in the South Bay.
One cool future was a 911 oil level gauge and 911 sender in its factory 914-6 tank. Today I added a quart, and this was done in the way the factory manual says to do it. Now my car has and a GT oil cooler up front and it takes more oil.
I warmed it up with a 1 mile drive and then checked it on level ground and it needed one quart to bring it between the min and the maximum line. As shown in the photos.

Just so you know.
Its kind of hard to see the oil level when the oil is very clean as it is a transparent gold against a goldish plated dip stick.

Interesting, it looks like your speedo is on the left, so I'm guessing your combo gauge is on the right?

It was not unheard of back in the day for Six conversion cars to run a 911 combo gauge (oil temp/press) in place of the 914 one, and the 914 one added to the center console so you have the warning lights and fuel gauge there.

Cool idea to have the smallest 911 gauge in the dash like that.
