Default Bigger oil filter

The manual states only pour 4.6 qt oil in at change. (2006 Accord 4cyl) Why not find a bigger oil filter and use all five qts.
My Honda vtx 1300 called for 4.6 and I dumped all the five qts without any problems.
Anyhow does anyone know of a good filter bigger than the stock size?

you do not need to use a bigger filter,, and why would you want to put in 5 qts instead of 4.6???
so you won't have any left over ?? just save it for next time around.. or if you use 5 qts container, dump the extra oil in it after an oil change till it fills to 4.5 and than use it

I understand that the filter from the S2000 fits the 4 banger but you'll need to confirm that for the '06 model. It is a larger filter but I don't know how much capacity it will add.

It fits the v6s too.

Not much, maybe 4 ounces.
