If you have different info, then please share it- don't try to tell anyone else they're wrong and do it my way only.
But you are wrong, why do you assume you aren't.

Because I have a B series, I'm not wrong.

Also, like I said before, the recomended 3.5 quarts if if you just change the oil in the pan and not replace your oil filter.* If you change your oil and filter at the same time which everyone does, put in 4 quarts if you have a d-series (at least in 5th and 6th gens.* 4 quarts for a b18b and a b16a, and 4.2 quarts if you have a b18c (those are the only ones I have changed oil in to know for sure)* Also add about .2 quarts if you are turboed to make up for what is in the feed lines and the turbo housing.

Hahahaha!!!

Well, my point with Resistance98ex was proven!!! He said 5 in a B series, and that's what I've got- and he's the engine builder master here LOL.

So are we gonna all agree then on Toyz-B-us's statement? I never said 4 was wrong, I just said that the Honda techs at my local (or used to be local) shop said 5 and I've never had any issues. But maybe 4 wasn't good for my D16??? Cause it worked fine.

I appreciate your "comeback" comment. I only said "master" to pick at ya, I'm not being an a$$hole. I just have 3 different sources saying 3 different things... so I'm a little confused now!

Well I have to change my oil this week, so do you think I should convert and go 4 on a B16?
