oil - sorry

this has been brought up before but i cant find it. my manual was stolen when my car was broken into. and i got two questions

1. How much oil does the 2.0l take (mp3) my old ZX2 took 4.5 quarts how much does the mazda 2.0l need

2. Does anybody have the part number the for the K&N or the mobil 1 oil filters.

i have 5 quarts of mobil 1 synthetic sitting in my trunk i just need to do an oil change, and manuals are still on back order. please help me out.

i'm sure whoever you buy your filters from should know what filter you need. As for how much oil, quarts? i don't know, but approx 3.5litres - just keep checking the dip stick!

The MAN- You might want to try reading the MANual on page 10-5 it is 3.5 Quarts without the filter (stupid for not changing the filter) and 3.7 Quarts with filter change If someone told you 3.9 they were trying to get away with dumping 4 Quarts into it and were just being lazy.
