Quick question about a BB6

[powerslave]

I've bought a 97 Prelude about a month ago or so, but the previous owner forgot to give me the owner's manual and he's on vacation now.

I need to do an oil change, what is the oil capacity for an oil change (with the oil filter)? I know there are quite a few BB6 owners on here.

If anyone has a pdf manual (or a link to one) for the car or anything like that, it would be appreciated too.

Thanks.

go to ct and look up the filter to use (there is a book right there near the filters)

also grab a 4.4L bottle of your favorite oil

pour about 3/4 of it into your engine then crank up the engine for a couple seconds and then check the oil level and fill up the rest

The 4.4L is perfect. I used to use 5L before the 4.4L bottles came out.

4.4L w/ or w/o oil filter?

Is it true that you should avoid Fram oil filters? (they make the Quaker State ones too). My next oil change i'm using a OEM one from the dealer or K&N.

Just for point of reference when he should check the dip stick...either at 4L or 4.2L :thumbsup:

start the car after the oil change let the oil run through and check the dipstick right after
