D4204T - D4204T14 getting right oil level after oil

New owner of V40 D4 VEA here. Was surprised of lacking regular dipstick. I had previous car Kia and it was very easy to change motor oil, but here with this electronic dipstick does not look like this.

According to the data, my engine requires 5.2L of oil. What way would be optimal from your point of view?

1.
Drain oil and replace filter.
Fill 4.7L of new oil.
(Run for 30 km? - i am scared to do so just to be able to check the oil level)
Check Oil level, if it asks to add. Will add by small increments like 100-150 mL until warning goes off. (After each top up another level check again 30 km of driving?)

2. Drain oil into the bucket and measure its volume.
Add new oil of the same amount + a bit more (for filter?)

What do you think about these methods? Do they make sense?
Is it possible that i can get warning about oil level even it is correct?
If i use Motul Specific RBS0-2AE 0W-20 instead of Castrol - can this pose any risks?
