It reads 8 qts. in the owners manual. Some say 8.5 qts. I just changed my oil and 8 did the trick for me.

8-8.5 works. The total capacity is probably 9 but you can't drain all of it, there is the oil cooler and the lines to and from that.

It takes about 8.5 quarts when you pre-oil the filter. For those who do not know what pre-oil means. Before installing a new filter fill it with the oil you will be using. It will take about 3 to 4 fills before the filter element is completely soaked. I do this on a Miata, it's filter goes on horizontal.
