8) Add fluid through the refill hole until the fluid flows out of the overflow tube.[*6]
9) Wait until the fluid stops flowing and is only dripping.[*7]
10) Temporarily tighten the overflow plug using a 5-mm (0.2 in) socket hexagon wrench and a new gasket.[*8]
11) Add fluid through the refill hole until reaching the specified amount when removing/installing the oil
pan.[*9]
Filling amount (reference):
2.0 L (2.1 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt)
The 2013 FRS manual seems to be a little less ambiguous with the description
(f) Add fluid to the refill hole until it flows out of the overflow
tube. [*5]
(g) Wait until the fluid flow slows and only drops come out. [*6]
(h) Temporarily install the overflow plug and gasket. [*7]
(i) Add fluid to the refill hole using the amount of fluid specified for removal and installation of the oil
pan. [*8]
HINT:
Specified amount of fluid is 2.0 liters (2.1 US qts, 1.8 Imp. qts).

Thank you, I literally signed up to say this; but you beat me to it. I think I'll be measuring how much comes out and if it's more than 2.1qt, I'll go with the service manual's instructions. Worse case, it'll come out of the overflow.
