I believe from the bottom hole to the top is 1 litre=~1 quart. So just divide that distance by four and you will have 1/4. I have noticed that it takes a few minutes for all the oil to reach the sump, so wait a bit longer before taking a reading. Also, I'm not sure if you know this but make sure to ignore the first reading, wipe, try again, wipe and take another reading this will most accurate. Good luck and it sounds like your engine should be broken in just fine.
