I find 5 qts to be exactly at full line.

 

Yep. I changed my oil and filter today for the first time. I used the 5 quart jug of Mobil-1. Drove it around and got it to operating temp, let it cool down for a few hours and just checked it. EXACTLY 5 quarts dead-nuts-on the full line.

 

Don't forget the oil will fill the oil filter too, not sure what the capacity is for a filter but try what jasonpp said and do 5, check the dip and go from there.

 

5.7 quarts with oil filter change.

 

That's what the manual says but for those who have changed the oil themselves, 5Q exactly seems to be correct. When I purchased oil for my change I bought a 5Q jug and a 1Q container thinking I might need the .7Q. Turns out it was not needed.

 

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Anybody know why Honda's own website would provide erroneous info?

 

Honda is correct, it takes 5.7 qt on the new 3.5 engine. 5 qts will leave you 22 oz short, not the end of the world but why mess with success. I am sure Honda did their homework on this. We were a supplier to Honda for connecting rods, differential carriers, engine main bearing caps, etc; they are some of the most intelligent people on the planet. Spent many days in their engine plant, transmission plant, assembly plants. That's why I own 3 Honda's. Their attention to detail is mind boggling.

This is what I do...5.7 quarts equals 5 quarts 22 oz...I always use 5 qts 16 oz...That way I get two oil changes out of the 32 oz bottle...don't need to deal with the 10 oz left if doing the 5 quarts 22 oz...Now that's just my way of doing it...larryd

 

Just put 5qt in there and call it good. As long as the oil is between high and low you are fine.

 

5.7 qt to be exactly at full line.

 

You are correct, it the oil is between the limits it is fine, however why start 22 ounces short? Most people never check their oil. The old 3.5 V-6's took 4.5 quarts. Most recently had the oil changed at the dealer on my 2018, the mechanic put in 5.7 qts, minimum. The oil was all the way up the dipstcick. Turns out he was not properly trained. That is a real issue, foam the oil, cause pan and oil seal leaks. Too much is almost as bad as too little.
Though it makes no difference to the consumer, the V-6 recall was due to a manufacturing error, not a design error. A mistake is a mistake, but the engineering was correct. That cannot be said for a lot of auto manufactures. IMO.

I consider anything above full line on the dipstick is overfilling not short as you are claiming it.
If Honda thinks its fine to go above the dipstick, do that. At 5qts, it's right on the full line is what I get from changing oil myself and I am gonna keep doing that.
No need to dump that extra 0.7qt in when 5qt will do the job and I don't need to have half used bottles laying around. Just dump a 5qt containing in and call it good.
Also just because it says on the manual doesn't mean it's correct. My Ducati manual says 3.5 liters of oil for oil change and if I do that, it will be way overfilling the engine. I go by what the sight glass tells me for oil level just like a dipstick.

 

Yea I was concerned and confused to find my motor full at 5qts. 5.4 is too much let alone 5.7

 

I just did my first oil change and filter on my 2023 Passport. It wasn't the easiest. I added 5 qts and checked the fill line on the dipstick. It was exactly in the middle. So I added .2 of a quart and it was perfect at the full line. So for myself it is 5.2 quarts.

 

My 21 burns about 1/4 to 1/2 qt of oil between oil changes (9k miles) so I just put 5.5qts in so that I am not low when I change oil. It’s not uncommon for manufacturers to add a bit more than needed because most owners don’t check oil level.
