search man... and if your to lazy

ex coupes don't take oil **** in it

 

3.5 minus the filter so around 4 with it.

 

3.8 quarts

 

put in 3.5 quarts then check the oil and see if its enough and add more if neccessary

 

around 3.8-4.0 is how much oil I usually put in when I change mine.

 

My Z6 takes 3.4, so don't be telling this guy to overfill it. Start with 3ish quarts, run the engine for 10 seconds or so, turn it off and check the level. Add more accordingly.

3.4 straight from being a professional mechanic with the engine in question

Putting 3.8 quarts in there won't hurt anything, especially since I think he has a Y8 and not a Z6, but it's always better to start with less and add more than deal with an overfull crankcase

Manual &gt; person

My D16A6 takes 3.7 quarts with a filter change, staight out of the 1991 Honda CRX Owner's Manual and the Helms FSM. I doubt the Z6/Y8 takes less.

Besides, the exact number isn't important - what is important is that the oil level in the sump is at the top hole on the dipstick, not above or below.

 

3.8 quarts

 

Helms, 92-95 Civic, D16Z6 specs

Yessir. I said 3.4 quarts earlier: must have been off by a tenth

 

i never know how much oil a car takes.. what i do...... get 6cans of oil fill up the filter depending on th instal angle how much you can add with out it all pouring out when instaling then fill up the oil to the dip sticks oil line........ start the motor up for a min, turn it off and continue to fill it to the oil line. always worked for me :D

My '92 Civic Helm manual is showing the exact same specifications as in that picture. What manual are you getting 3.8 from?

 

i've always run with 3.5 quarts and my car is still going strong
