As everybody can see I'm pretty new to the NSX community and car itself. I just did my first oil change about 2 weeks ago and noticed that the manual said the capacity was 5.3 qts of oil. My other vehicle takes 5.49qts of oil and the first time I did an oil change on that car and put in exactly what the manual said too, afterwards I checked the dipstick like normal and realized that I was over filling by what the dipstick was showing. So after that oil change I stuck to 5 qts of oil with that particular car and every time since then 5 qts has filled it to the full mark on the dip stick, and have been doing that for the last 45,000 miles with no issues whatsoever.
Now I thought I would do that with the NSX and when I changed the oil I put in 5 qts and checked the dipstick and it showed full. I even drove the car for a little while and let the car sit and checked the oil after it had time to drain and it still showed full on the dip stick. I then ran into this old thread where Larry B stated and I quote "Well, the bottom line is you did it! BTW, make sure with the car warmed up, engine off for 3-4 minutes, you check the oil level. My 1991 uses EXACTLY 5.3 qts after an oil/filter change."
So what do you guys fill to 5 or 5.3 qts??
Thx
