I usually put about 3.5 quarts into my motor, then work my way from there and keep checking in till im satisfied

how many quarts do you usually start out with?

 

4

 

Add oil. Use the dipstick to check it?

 

4.2 quarts

wow your fing dumb , i just wanna know how much is recommended so i dont have to guess

 

same with you for agreeing with him point the obvious dip shlt

 

if it's obvious what is so hard about it?

i find it hard to believe you spent the money, but can't figure out how much oil your expensive engine needs.

 

^^THIS IS CORRECT^^

The official answer from the manual is 4.2 quarts. When changing oil, I generally fill to 4 quarts, then let it down and add about another 1/4 quart, checking with the dipstick.

Works great if you're buying 4 qt bottles. I throw in a whole 4qt, then a quarter of a small bottle.

 

again a dumb remark ,like i said i usually fill it up about 3.5 quarts and keep filling it until I'm satisfied with it i didn't say it was hard, im just looking for the right amount other people usually recommend,so that i can start from there. sorry that i don't have it memorized in my head,

i dont know why you would talk since you dont own a b16b am i right?

 

thanks maybe ill start from there next time

 

This is what I do with my B16A.

Drain oil, remove/install filter, pour in 4 quarts of oil (1 US gallon), start and check for leaks, drive until operating temp is reached. Re-check level and add if needed to reach the top hole on the dipstick.

It does not need to be exact, but a quart low is not good.

 

Why cant he just check the dipstick instead of being an idiot. Dont ask if you dont want opinions jackass

 

you're right, i guess i'm not worthy because i never overpaid for something when i could've gotten pretty much the same results with a GSR.

your status symbol > me

 

wow i do check it, like i said i start from 3.5 quarts then when i think its enough i stop, im just seeing how much is recommenced so i don't have to keep checking and get done with it from the geko, READ WHAT I WROTE, damn fing idiots on this forum i swear....

 

i agree, it's like they can't even add oil to their car themselves without someone holding their hand

oh..
wait..
whoops.

 

op should be castrated for not knowing how much oil a motor needs.

 

wow thats what everybody says, your so knownledgeable because you can read what a paper says about the specs of a gsr and b16b WOOT!! the thing is, theres a bunch of hondas out there, are you seriously gonna try to beat every single one and become the number 1 honda in the world ? i don't think so


come on now man get real, any 1 whose putting money into a basic daily driver (thats non luxury ,high performance) car is over spending seriously. that means everybody in this forum including you (and me) for buying a jdm parts, paint job, intake, or what ever else you have.



but seriously i was just asking a SIMPLE question you don't gotta be a smart *** about it, im sure you had questions before too right. you proberly waiting for me to reply so you can talk **** again right lol get a life man.

 

im just seeing if people start out with the same amount that i do thats all.

sorry im not a scientist and pour the right amount from the start without checking it ever agian and call it good like you

 

I usually don't get in between e-arguing and flaming, but I feel like I have to speak up on this matter. Everyone needs to take a chill pill. Honda-tech nowadays follows the same pattern on most topics:

1. Someone asks a questions because they are just trying to learn.
2. Someone starts to flame the person for asking a "dumb" question.
3. The OP then fights back calling the other person stupid.
4. Other person fights back and says get a life.
5. Then OP says eff off and that the other person should get a life and that they are done arguing with them.
6. Other person says something back.
7. Even though OP said he'd stop or he's done, he doesn't stop and keeps talking back.
8. Someone who wants to learn more things about their car get's lost amongst all this e-arguing and cannot find anything constructive on the matter and the thread goes down the hole.

Let's all just try and make nice and just help the guy out and if you don't have anything to say then don't post.

As far as to the OP's question, 4.2 quarts would be right. However, what I normally do is what many others have stated, which is fill up with 4 quarts, start the car and let the oil circulate, refill if necessary. Hope it helps.

 

yeah we all needa stop bein douchebags

its funny you put this sence you just called him a jackass for asking a question.

yes, it was a stupid question, yea he could have search and found this 2 times as fast...

also op, acting the way you did, is no way to get people to want to help you. some people are *** holes, just let them go, and dont pay attension to them.
