How much coolant required for drain and fill?

So if i put 4qts in the radiator cap does that over flow it or not please help. Im new and trying to learn everything off youtube and google lol. I drained the radiator and put 4 qts back in it.
There is no radiator cap, the radiator is filled from the reservoir. It’s fine to start with 4 qts but I ultimately added more than that. If you fill the reservoir above the “full” line, you will eventually purge the excess when the car is at full operating temps for an extended period. This is assuming you did the fill procedure correctly when performing the service.
I did a write-up when I changed mine.
