This seems like it would be good practice when changing oil to get as much in the sump as possible for draining.
I check before I drive after car has been sitting all night. I also try and keep it a bit under the full mark and 1 dash under the full mark on the gauge

I would say 1/4-1/2 qt depending on several factors, oil viscosity,age,temp,rpm's right before shutdown etc.
I recently replaced my clutch, flywheel, & oil. The oil drained/dripped for about 2 months.
