H22? Mine takes just over 5 litres. Though you'd be best getting more for the inevitable top ups.

I'm always changing oil+filter. Never filled more than about 4.5ltr. Usualy this 0.5 I have to use to top up before next change. So it's a must to buy 5ltr can IMHO.

4.6752643 for me? :?

:lol:

As said, should be no more than 5 litres if its just a filter change and drain from the sump plug. you should have anything up to 1/2 litre left for top ups after a few drives and checking the levels again.

Answered anyway, but if you check in the wiki-lude section you'll find links to download the full Honda service manual for 4th and 5th gen. That will answer any questions like this :D
