the engine can probably hold 15 quarts or more, but 3.5-3.7 is what is calls for. 4 quarts is too much. as with a low oil level, a high oil level can cause problems. if you add an additive, depending on how much there is, deduct that amount from the oil. so if it is half a quart, only add 3 quarts of oil.

rice4lyfe will become famous soon enough
make sure when ur adding oil, run the car for a couple of seconds after refilling to pump the oil through the filter and system, then check oil level again
