Can someone tell me what the oil capacity is without changing out the oil filter?? Since it is 4.5 quarts with a oil filter change.

Thanks in advance

Infinite, because you can keep pouring and it'll just keep leaking out without an oil filter in place

How often to change to change oil if your using synthetic.? I’m at 7,700 miles and this would be change #2....

I run Castrol Edge 0W-20 and change it (and the filter) every 10,000 miles

I still go by the mileage minder. When it gets down to <20%,(approximately 5-6000 miles), I change it right away with NAPA 5W-20 synthetic and either a WIX 51334 or a Mobil1 M104 filter ($9.97 at Walmart) for the '03 TL because it's bigger than the one for the '04+ TL. At 331K, I'm not taking any chances.

Seems mileage minded on my 2019 goes off at around every 3,500 miles,,,is this right for turbo RDX?

it's conditioned based...meaning; if the car senses that it's doing more work, ie; higher RPM's, always in boost, etc,etc. it will decrease faster...
City driving is really hard on engine with lots of stop and go.

The MID oil life is a calculation base on these things.

1. Engine RPM operating range.
2. Ambien temperature.
3. Throttle input.
4. Average MPH.

Keep in mind the newer RDX is a turbo charged motor, unlike your typical WRX running at 14.8 PSI. The newer FI car run 21-24 PSI from factory lol.
