Q: How much oil does the engine hold?

How much oil does the engine hold?

Knowing the amount of oil your engine holds is important even if you don’t do your own oil changes. If you drive a 4-cylinder Accord, your engine holds 4.2 quarts of oil (including the filter). If you drive a V6 Accord, your engine holds 4.5 quarts of oil (again, including the filter).
