I put 4.. but isn't 5 too much?

 

nope when i use 5 in either my b16 or b18b it always sits maybe a mm above the full line. no ill effects and ive been doing it for at least 6-7yrs. you dont have to but i buy my oil in the 5qt bottle so i just use it all. you run into problems when you go more then a qt over.

 

3.5 quarts of 5w30 mobil synthetic in my Y8...

 

I buy the 1 gallon jug and throw it all in(4 quarts). b16

 

4.5 quarts.

I keep the last 1/2 quart in my car in case I spring a leak or something.

Honda spec I think is around there.

 

Honda spec for an oil change is 3.6quarts I thought (d16y8). Engine rebuild is 4.5quarts. I usually do about 3.5, drive the car and then adjust to get to max on the dip stick.
