actually, the fsm says 2.5 imperial pints, which is 1.5 quarts.

i have always put in 2 qts of synthetic 80-90 and never had a problem.

My FSM (S14 SR) says 2.5L (4.375 imp pt) Are you sure it's not the CA18 your looking at?

after re-reading, you are correct. i misread the () in the FSM. I better go add about 1/2 qt

Open the filler plug and fill until fluid pours out of the filler hole. Make sure the car is flat and not tilted up or downhill.

It's about 2 quarts, depending on how much you spill.
