Well I changed my break-in oil today.
I went so far as to measure how much exactly came out the car, using a 5qt jug and a 1qt container of oil, I emptied my drain catch to precisely 6qts.

I then added only 6qts into the engine, and fired it up. I pulled the car off the ramps and onto solid surface and let the engine warm up. It idled nice and quietly and after a few moments, i-drive reported my oil level was OK and at the max mark. I'll keep 1qt in the trunk just in case.
