Wes,
I'd recommend that you go with MC oil. I run 10w-40 in winter and 20w-50 in summer.
Don't sweat the exact amount of oil: Get 3 quarts of oil. Put the filter back on and put 2 in. Check the level. Then add until it is right.
I can't hurt to have a little extra oil in the garage.
Even better yet, get a hand oiler, fill it also, and then hit all the oil points on the bike.
