Default 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.

4 cyl 4.4 qts ,,, v6 4.5 qts,,,(,for oil + filter )
do not waste your time to measure what comes out,, just make sure that floor is leveled when you drain it
