I believe it's 4.6 quarts. Personally I'm using Redline Synthetic with an Amsoil filter.

I'm not sure about SoCal.. But if you can't find an AMS, Bosch Filters are good.

Are Fram oil filter's that bad? When I took my car to have an oil change, I provided my own oil and filter. The only filter Autozone had for my car, for some reason, was a Fram filter. Since I needed a filter, I put a Fram on. Should I use another filter next time?

I just had my oil changed at Acura and I gave them an entire case of oil and the oil filter. They gave me back a half quart of oil! They always used to use 4.5 quarts. Bastards.
