The do not overfill markings are on both the"engine stopped" and the "engine running at idle" sides of the dipstick. The Puradyn filter actually takes quite awhile to fill once drained, in my size, around 10 minutes. That was really the reason why I asked the question in the first place. For those 10 minutes, is the extra oil needed to fill the Puradyn a problem, and the experts seem to think not.
