How many quarts does it take to fill a 95 Vtec to the top line on the dip stick? Need a quick answer please...

LoudLude

i dunno for sure, i am too lazy to go get the manual. look in your helms

I think my 93 holds 5.1quarts, so put 4 in, check it, then fill the rest of the way.

Cookout

hmmm. this one site said 6.2, i just put it in and i'm waiting for it to level... i hope that wasn't too much

Cookout

http://prelude.vtec.net/gen4/ was the site

That is too much, but I think you'll be alright. Always put in 5-5.1 quarts, don't go by anymore web sites. Helms specified 5.1 quarts.

when I worked at the dealership, after changing the filter and adding new oil to the engine, 5.3 quarts would be perfect.....

it's 5.1 cuz that's what it says in my manual, the chiton's manual...that's only for the 95 VTEC engine...the Si and S have different amounts

Yeah, the 6 quarts I put in puts the oil line about a quarter inch above the line... is that too much? it seems to be running fine, and I know the engine will burn it down to normal soon anyway.

PreludeSdriver2

thats too much oil.....too much causes the moving parts to slow down alittle bit cuz it has to travel through more oil ie. crankshaft

Well should I loosen the oil pan bolt and drain a little or what?

PreludeSdriver2

yeah just unscrew that bolt and let some drain out and then check your oil again and if you let too much out...just add some of that oil in to make up the difference...
