Major issues with over-filling. You can run into a whole slew of expensive problems that way. Don't do it!
The simplest way to do this right is to use an oil pan with hash marks on the side indicating quarts. If the pan fills to the 8 quart hash mark, put 8 quarts of fresh oil in. Simple as can be. Make sure you are on a flat surface. You can do this without jacking up the car, by the way.
Don't forget to change your oil filter, too, and capture the amount of oil that comes out of there. Use a new oil filter and rubber o-ring. For your oil plug, use a new crush washer each time.
In my 997S I usually drain about 8 quarts, and thus, add 8 quarts.
