The extent to which a liquid increases in volume per one
degree Fahrenheit or Centigrade is defined as it’s
coefficient of expansion. For example, the coefficient of
expansion of gasoline is approximately 0.0006 per one
degree Fahrenheit, mineral oil is similar. I haven't found the coefficient of expansion for motor oil, but it would likely be similar So a 100 degree change in temp would cause 12 quarts to expand to 12.7 quarts, assuming this coefficient of expansion near .0006.
