motor oil capacity IX GSR
i jus want to know the exact motor oil capacity for my 06 IX GSR... i am using 5w30 mobil 1 fully synthetic extended performance and i read on here a whole bunch of diff numbers as to how many quarts go in....i checked my manual and cant find how many quarts to put in... can anybody help me? i dont want to put to much and I DEF DONT WANT to put too little.....the oil is so clean cause i just changed it that its hard to really see it on the dipstick. i bought a 5 quart bottle and used about 4.6 or 4.8 of it so i reall want some help as to if its too little or too much because i cant see it on the dipstick untill it gets a little darker over time.....thanks

officially its 4.7, but it really depends on size and style filter, how how good it was drained, amount in the oil cooler, etc. i typically do around 4.5
you should have no problems seeing clean oil on the dipstick...

its not that i cant see the oil because i can but its so clean that its hard to see where it stops on the dipstick but i checked again today after i put about 25 miles on the oil change and it darkened up just enough to really see it on the stick and its a hair above the second indent.....should i take some out or leave it, its literally right above the second indent
