Okay. This is a pretty straightforward question. How much oil goes into a 2rz? I know it's 5-30 but for the life of me, Google isn't giving a straight answer.

I find that 5 and a little splash extra gets me to the full line with a filter change

Tracking. I see why OP is confused. There are 50 reputable sites claiming 6 qts for 2.4 2RZ.

To be fair to them, to do a drain and fill on the oil, you would need to buy 6 quarts to fill 5.5
