I would assume that after an engine rebuild, there is no oil in any of the passages that are normally full of oil during an oil change. I am just saying that it should hold more and it is strange that it isn't.
Does the guy that posted the question have an Integra?

I was just guessing he knew that his car only holds 3.5 quarts.
