Maybe I’m seeing things, but I think I see the two marks

If you drained the cooler and the lines go ahead and add one more quart now than fire it up. 10 or 11 quarts is plenty to be safe for good lubrication. Just don't drive it like a track day until it is right between the two levels after it is full temp, and sits and idles for a full minutes. Check it while the engine is running.

The thermostat on the engine, and the one in the fender have to open up and circulate the oil at 180 or or more, engine idling to check the level. It is just a waste of time to try if the engine is not running or up to temp.

To emphasize: You cannot check your oil level unless the engine is running and warm. 10 quarts is undoubtedly plenty - you don't want to overfill.
