My Helms says 4.2 quarts, but I probably add closer to 4.5 quarts.

a little over ~1/2 qt wouldn't make a terrible difference... but it will have u burning oil until you even out... no big... no damage unless you put like 6-7 qts in

Correct me if I am wrong, but generally speaking. Isn't rule of thumb 1 QT per cylinder?
