Everyone seems to forget he's in Europe, and has a F20 DOHC engine. There's plenty of hiding places in that engine for oil to hide.

 

Hmmm, any suggestions as to where it is hiding?

 

Up in the head. It could be his manual has a typo too.

 

My TSX shop manual has a 1.1L difference between rebuild and refill capacity. So we can assume his values are correct.

There are places the oil can hide, like oil filter, pooling the cylinder head. There is also the surface area of the entire engine that has a thin coat of oil. The casting is not flat, so that may be enough to take up the 1.1L difference.

 

i'm not in europe, i'm in the middle east
and the engine is SOHC F20B5.

 

Well, I never you weren't in the USA which is where the guys thought you were. Sorry, didn't catch your 2000 Accord had the smaller single cam motor.
