Default Oil Capacity: Add more than stock?

I've heard of people adding more oil than stock capacity to their turbo Hondas, reason being that the turbo and additional oil lines have oil flowing through them... How many people are running more than stock oil capacity, all else being the same(stock oil pan, etc..)? How much more? Thanks

I'd like to know too

I was thinking about getting a moroso oil pan so that I could keep my 3-5000k oil change intervals

not that much more. maybe a 1/4 qrt

BTW when you stick a fitting on the moroso pan, it can only hold 4 quarts.

this is a really small amount of oil. i honestly think adding 1/4 quart solely for this is too much. i would just keep it in between the dots. close to the middle as possible.

because of turbo feed/return lines and turbo you will be running more oil.. i always make sure its up to the top dot.
