The owners manual calls for 4.2 qts with a filter change. I put in 4.0 which, when checked, puts the level dead in the middle of the "zone" on the dip stick, Jimmy!

Check level upon refill, start & idle engine approx 5 mins. shut off, wait a few minutes for oil level to settle, top off with 1/4qt oil (My checklist: Bosch oil filter change, start w/4qts, end total 4 1/4qts)
