The owners manual says the oil capacity is as follows:
1.8 qt when filter not removed
2.0 qt when filter is removed
2.5 qt when engine is completely dry
What's the difference between "when the filter is removed" and "when engine is completely dry"? If you removed the drain plug and the filter, is there a half qt lurking up there somewhere that you can't get to?
In the DIY Oil Change sticky thread, hacktracker says he used 2.35 qts. what have others experienced when they change theirs, including the filter?
