How much oil?

Please don't say RTFM because I dont have one. And I cant find anywhere on here where it says how much oil the car takes. I have a 2k1 ex coupe. Just a simple question, I dont need any smart A answers. Thanks

bullseye is an unknown quantity at this point
My 2001 manual states 3.7 quarts including filter for the EX. For the LX it states 3.4 quarts including filter.

unless the car is brand spankin new, i find myself putting 3.5l in my ex because theres always gonna be a small amount of oil left over. whenever i put in 3.7l, its always slightly above the full mark. reduced it to 3 1/2, and its right at the full line perfectly

I just put 4 in. I use high capacity filters so it takes up the difference.

Which filter do you use (Brand / Model)?
