Remote Porsche 911 type dry sump oil change procedure

Could someone please outline a correct procedure to do an oil change on a VW type 1 engine with a remote 911 dry sump system ? Henry just said drain the engine plug, drain the 911 tank, ( never mentioned needing to even look at the remote oil cooler ) and go from there. My understanding is that it holds about 10-12 litres of oil. 

I've bought 15 litres of Valvoline VR1 Racing oil as many of you use and thanks for that recommend. I know the oil level has to be checked while the engine is running, level and hot. So, after the drain and re-plug, would you add say 8-9-10 litres to the oil tank and start it up, then check level from there ? Or do you need to add maybe only 6 or 7 , start it up for circulation, shut it down / keep it running....add more then and check or what ?

A local friend owns a shop nearby and will put it up on the hoist to do the Ontario Safety check for Title transfer so we'll do an engine oil change, tranny oil change and have a peek underneath to look everything over. 

I don't have the Accusump for sure as Stan suggested. Thanks. 

We're sure looking forward to 2019 for some driving.
