The upper mark is completely full, the lower mark means you add a quart to
completely fill it.  At least that's what it said in the Owners Manual for
my '65 MkII.

I'd say the top mark. At least it is on mine.(1977 1500) I hold 5qts with
filter change but I like to use about 4 3/4 qt.  What's the list have to
say?
