Dont trip..

Buy 6 quarts, it never hurts to have extra oil in your garage. Start with 4 quarts, check it, and then just go from there.. At least your changing your own oil rather than just taking it to jiffy lube. good job!

I think you're being a little harsh there, but to the OP...starting with 4 quarts and adding should be fine. It is somewhere between 4 and 5 quarts. I just glanced around on team-integra.net under their articles and there wasn't a specific number for your car. If you spend some time searching you can most likely find what you're looking for.

Damn guys, give the kid a break. 4 quarts even with a filter change. Start the car for about 10-20 seconds, shut it off, wait a minute and then check the oil level. Pull the dipstick, wipe it clean, put it back in and out and make sure the oil level is between the two dots. Wouldn't hurt to change the drain plug gasket after you drain the oil either. Make sure you check the level once in a while too, old Honda = oil burner.

Use jack stands. Never get under a car with just a hydraulic jack holding it up.

17 mm to remove drain plug. Get a new washer. Don't get oil everywhere. Make sure you don't over tighten plug.

Get an oil filter wrench, remove filter. Oil will come out; don't have your head directly under it. Hand tighten the new filter, oil the gasket. Some people say prefill it with oil. I don't. You can if you want.

Fill with 4.2 quarts 5-30 or 10-30 oil. Start car, make sure oil light goes off, turn off car, check oil (with car on ground).

Good luck.

Next time, try searching for more than 20 mins. Try google.
