How much oil?
I have a 98 Accord and I was just wondering how much oil is good? I checked the dip stick but seems like you cant really tell. So just wondering how many quarts are good. I put in 4. Does anyone know for sure?

ORIGINAL: 6thgen about 4.5 quarts. so how much oil?? Exactly that much to bring the oil level between MIN and MAX points on the Engine Oil dipstick [sm=goodidea.gif] |
RE: How much oil?
I have to agree with sixth gen. I've got a 98 4cyl and just changed last week. 4.5 quarts for me with a healthy engine and no leaks. what do you guys think about the Lucas adders always being pushed at the local autoparts stores with the crank shaft displays?

RE: How much oil?
So I just checked my oil and it is a bit on the high side of the max mark, am I ok? Or should I get messy and drain a bit out? It seems to be about 1/2 qt over-full (referencing 6-gen's comment, I put 5 qts when it really only needed 4.5)
98 4 cyl - |
