First time I bought oil from AMS, they told me 5 quarts was fine. Good enough for me.

Just double check the dipstick just to be safe. I put in 5 qts last time and I was pretty high above the top fill point.

So here's the update.. It was a bit over the full mark on the stick and me being as **** as I am drained about 300mL out and it's about perfect now.. Well I'll know for next time!!

Just FYI, the bad thing about overfilling it is, if it's too full, the crank will hit the top of the oil, foam it up and maybe starve the engine of oil. But it has to be more than just a little too full for that to happen. Half a quart's not going to do it.

Every Evo will take a different amount to fill to the "full" line. You'll find discrepancies in all engines. Ever have to install a dipstick tube? A couple mm difference in where the dipstick tube sits in the block could equate to the dipstick reading 1/2 quart too low. Don't sweat the slight overfill.

5 quarts seems to be the norm for every DSM/Evo. My Laser RS Turbo called for 4.8 but 5 quarts of Mobil 1 went in every time and to this day it runs as smooth as when I bought it. Same with my Evo, 5 quarts of Amsoil every time. I expect the same results if not better...

I fill mine with 4.5 quarts, and the Dip reads right to the High Mark every time.

I would fill it with 4 quarts and then check the dipstick. From there, I would add more oil accordingly.

The separate evo manual lists the oil pan capacity as 4.8 (4.83 I believe) quarts and the oil filter capacity as .3 (.32) quarts. There's also the oil cooler capacity to keep in mind.

Ya I've done mine twice and it's always just under 5 qts to fill her up. But you'll be fine with the extra little bit. You might burn that off during the next 2-3k miles anyway. If your **** then crack open the drain plug and let a little out.
