How much oil for 04 accord?

I have an 04 accord and I plan to change my own oil, but I have no idea how much oil I need to put in. The guy who sold me the car also didn't have the manual for the car

4 & 1/2 quarts? It depends on how thoroughly you drain it. Always check with the dipstick. Don't just trust the number of quarts.

Check the current level, drain in a marked container to see how much comes out, then put in as much as came out.

do not waste your time to measure what comes out,, just make sure that floor is leveled when you drain it
