Oil Change Question

[SiPlayboy]

How much oil do you put in your 99-00 Civic Si's when changing it. The owners manual says 4.2 quarts with filter then a couple lines down it says 5.1 quarts total?

add 4 1/2 quarts then check your dip stick..... You know how to read a dip stick right?

The amazing thing is that you read the manual...hmm..I've only read it twice ...for tranny fluid capacity..and ..umm..dont remember but ..wow. The way i see it...just drain it out good and add 4.5 quarts. I dont even check the dip stick. If i was at work. .i always do ..we get it pumped by machine so u got to check there.
