i actually filled the filter about 75% before i screwed her in place. Then
put the rest of the oil in, then ran her 15 seconds (or so). Waited 5+
minutes and then checked my level. Also, when i poured my old oil into the
milk jug it didn't go past the bottom of the handle...

and this is not a wbx, but a inline 4 (tii)
