This is the first time I've had this problem with a Honda.
The owner's manual for my '03 Civic SI states with an oil and filter change, the filling capacity is 4.4 US quarts. It also states 4.2 US quarts without a filter change. It then makes a non-specific referance to a total of 5.6 quarts.
With an oil and filter change and the addition of 4.4 quarts of oil to my car, this leaves my dip stick showing on the add mark after running the car and letting it sit on a level surface for several minutes.
The Honda-dealer-run oil changer techs checked their system and confirmed the capacity that my owner's manual shows. They also caution about over filling the oil pan by adding more oil to the engine to bring the level to the full mark on the dip stick if it exceeds 4.4 quarts.
Has anyone else come across this problem?? What amount of oil is correct?? Dan

I would like to know as well, but you also have to understand that the oil should be inbetween the two ondentions on the dip stick. not touching the top dot. I changed oil at super lube, and thats what they taught us.
