How many quarters of oil should I add?

I just changed the oil in my 2000 Mazda Protegé. The owner's manual recommends 2.9 quarts for the 1.6 liter engine. I put in 3 quarts. The ifixit guide recommends 4 quarts.

Which amount is correct?

sn0man, 3.4 quarts without oil filter replacement and 3.8-4.0 quarts with oil filter replacement. Best thing to do, check your dipstick after you have the minimum amount in it, and ran the engine for a few minutes. Make sure that the oil level shows on the dipstick as your manual suggest. The other thing I always do, I prefill the oil filter with engine oil, this minimize the run time until the filter fills. Hope this helps, good luck.

The way I see it the manual should tell you exactly how many gorgeous supposed to put in. you know what I mean why would somebody want to get our lost and confused and don't know how many of course they put in their own engine Mazda needs to advertise what that amount proper amount is on a 2.0 Aurora 1.9
