Above information from my '85 4Runner Owner's Manual. I typically use ~4.5 qts., keeping the 1/2 full bottle to top off the oil after it drops a little about half way to the next oil change.

I've seen specs stating 4.5 "with filter" and 4.0 "without filter". Odd thing is the filter is at most 1/4 quart and the specs are far closer to 1 extra quart. Heck, even 4Crawler's page says 4.9 quarts, and I can't put that much oil in, with or without filter, into either my 88 or 91 22re's and not be overfilled according to the dipstick.

i normally buy 5 quarts, fill 4 start the engine shut it off re-check and top off. then throw the left over oil behind the seat so i have some extra in case i need to add any before my next oil change.

I have a '94 22re. It takes exactly 4 quarts to bring it to the fill mark with a filter change.

thanks guys. I've always just put in 5qt, but I was just wondering because I don't have a owner's manual so I wasn't really sure.
