[i]Not to whore your thread, but here's a question... as per my owners manual, and everywhere else I've read, my b18b is 'supposed' to take 4.6L of oil. The mechanic who did my last oil change said, "no, it takes 3.8L, and with your bigger oil filter it'll proably take all 4.0L." And it did?! One 4.0L jug, filled it right up to the top of the dipstick. Strange, eh? [/B]
That 4.6L probably is for a dry-fill. Like if you dismantled your engine & there weren't any puddles of oil laying around under your cams or in your oil pump.
