Are you sure it isn't showing overfull? Should be an air bubble at the top once the level is correct. 4qts with a filter change, and not started, it would look overfull.
With no oil, you should be able to see the silver case, and some of the cast lines in it.
Use a flashlight and see what you have.

Thought I would give you a heads up for after you get it running .....
The oil in this engine gets "air entrainment" on cold starts. If you start it cold, run just a minute or two, then shut it off, the oil in the sight glass will look milky like it has water in it. That's normal and goes away after the oil gets hot.

I’m sorry I don’t follow brown tinge ?

The brownish tinge when you look at the metal in the sight glass. It should be completely silver if you were out of oil

...fresh new oil will appear as brownish......no (low volume) oil, should appear as clear.
