When You Change Your Oil and Filter on a 1.8L Sonic, You Put X Quarts In :)

[Ponchoguy]

What do you put in? Do you put the 4.78 quarts of oil? If so, how do you easily and accurately measure it? Or do you put in 5 quarts ?

Inquiring minds want to know....

I put in 4.5 quarts, then I run it, then I top it off. There's usually a wee bit left in the bottom of the 5 qt. jug, but I don't measure it.

I put in 4.5 quarts, then I run it, then I top it off. There's usually a wee bit left in the bottom of the 5 qt. just, but I don't measure it.

I read on Mitchell that it's 4.80 quarts with filter, I think the OM says 4.78 quarts with filter....
