I just put in 4. I figure if it doesn't like the extra .3 than it can just burn it off(burns less than a quart between 3k changes).
yea four is fine

I was under the impression that putting in more oil than specified was bad for the engine. Correct me if I'm wrong. >confused.gif>

yea your right but .3 to .1 gt isn't going to do any damnage at all.

Yup, it will only harm the engine if you put 5 in, or some ridiculous amount.
