The tank does NOT drain. If the engine is off, it holds the oil. Oil only circulates through the tank when the engine is running.
You fill the tank and then start the bike and idle it for a bit and gradually the level will drop as oil circulates.
After a few minutes, the oil level will drop and in the end you will have filled about 3.5 quarts.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
