oil additives and capacity

Just a few questions...

How much oil should I put in my KA24DE (when also changing oil filter)?
How much oil should I pour in the oil filter before screwing it on?

When using oil treatments, should I put in the full normal amount of oil and also add the treatment? Or should I put in a little less oil to make up for how much of whatever else is poured in?

I've heard some say not to use engine treatments at all, even in higher mileage engines (mine has 150k)... Why is that?

Thanks

Thanks, could you tell me a bit more about Seafoam? This is the first I've heard of it. Where do you get it?
