[tqt]

Just changed the oil on my own today. In the manual, it calls for 4.25 qt of oil. I took 4.5 qt to get it to the top line (H).

Some much oil are you guys pouring in? Just curious.

It's nice not having to drive up ramps or jack up the car to change the oil, unlike my altima (R.I.P.)

I jack up the front, and usually pour back in 4.5-4.75qts. The actual specification for the engine is 4.25qts with filter on level ground, since I assume when jacked up, the drain plug is facing the rear and lets a little more oil drain out. A dry fill of the engine is 5.3qts, but thats with a completely empty engine, which you can ever get.
