Just so you know since there are other fluid capacities for the car, the owners manual that came with the car lists everything you should need.

For some reason the FSM and owners manuals don't agree on oil though.  OM says 4qts and the FSM says 3 3/4 (3.5 w/o filter).

I usually put in 4 as I jack up the opposite side of the car to let as much drain out as possible, as well as letting it drain for a few hours.  Recently I had a small drip from my plug so I replaced the crush washer (and lost at least a 1/4 quart) yet the dipstick still reads full.  I guess next time I'll try adding till it reads full and see if it changes.
