Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm well aware of the danger of over filling. Here is what I'm saying. 4.4Quarts in my car only takes the oil level on the dipstick to the 1/2 way mark. Not quite at the hole or full mark. Some have said adding 4.4 quarts in the same engine does take it to the full mark. I'm not worried about it, just trying to understand why and if I should add more then 4.4 to make it hit the full mark. Car has always been on level ground and oil checked when engine is cold, usually 12 hours later. My car can take about 5 quarts to reach the full mark. I'm guessing that Honda does this so you leave some room for error because over filling is quite common, especially at quick lube places like IffyLube. Luckily I do my own oil changes.

*Just noticed but my manual states that the oil level should be between add and full.
