My neighbor wants me to change her oil on a 99? hatchback. I was just wondering if anyone knew how much oil the car takes and if 5w-30 is good.

 

4 quarts of 5w30 and you're good to go

 

i always thought it was 3.5 oh well it says in the owners manual

 

it will prolly take just over 3qt I buy 4 to play it safe.

 

3.8 qts

 

3.5 or 3.6... i used to work at Honda dealership...

 

Alrite thanks guys I'll check if she has the manual, if not I'll just cross my fingers and hope it's 3.8

 

Yeah it's about 3.5 if you dump the oil out of the filter too.

 

ooops..I made a mistake changing my oil..I replaced the oil filter and everything..but I just remembered to initially put oil around the new oil filter before screwing it on...oil level is fine on the gs-r..should I be worried...DOH!...I'm an idiot!
