What is the engine oil capacity for the KA24E?

My mechanic told me 4.8qts .

4 is about right

Does anyone know what it actually says in the owner's manual? I have a Haynes and it says 3 1/2. Doesn't specify if that is with new filter or not. What a $hitty manual. Complete waste of money.

OMG 4 with new filter sits the oil just right on the dipstick

Im new here so I dont know how to post pics, Yea I know Im stupid. email [email protected]

I don't understand. I put 3 1/2 qts in with a filter change and the oil level was way low on the dip stick. Why does the manual tell you to short change on the oil???? I added another 1/2 qt and it is just shy of the full mark now. I guess i'll leave it at that.

hmm gee...

The owners manual on my 97 four banger with four wheel drive says 4qts without changing the filter and about 4-1/2 if you do change the filter. On a two wheel drive its 3-3/4 and 4-1/8. I guess the two wheel drives have a smaller oil pan.
