4 quarts is a safe bet, start there insan . then start you car, let it run for a minute shut it off and check your oil. my ex 5 speed take about 4 1/3 quart to be filled correctly according to the dipstick. hope this helps.

yep I use 3.75 or 3 3/4quarts .. you can get away with 4 but its not good practice to over fill even though its not much ..

I drive a lx but from what I can see it doesnt matter unless you dont change the fileter then you add less oil but the vtec engine doesnt have a different oil capacity that I can see here in the book

Yep, look under "oil" in your owner's manual index. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

3.4 lx, dx

3.7 Ex

I'd just leave a tad in the 4th quart if I were you. .1 of a court extra or low isn't going to hurt anything at tall.

just fill it up and check checkin it.... if its low, put a little more in and check it again... but 4 qts is usually good
