RE: oil capacity ?
You should get only about 2.8 - 3 qts.in. I put 3 full quarts in mine on my first service and was blowing oil out the vent hose b/c it was too full. I keep mine at about 75% on the Full HOT range marker.Some oil does remain in the engine as mentioned above.

YOU SHOULD WARM THE OIL UP FIRST THEN DRAIN IT,I BELIEVE THE MANUAL SAID THAT

RE: oil capacity ?
If you drain it cold, a lot of old oil will still be in the engine. Always drain the oil HOT
