2001 3.0L maxima oil capacity?

Yes i've searched the forums, several actually..

Nobody has an exact number, I've read anywhere from 4 up to 5 quarts..

No owners manual, does anybody have an oem capacity on my car?

I've already started filling my car and put anywhere from 4.25 to 4.5 quarts

Oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: liter (US qt, Imp qt)

Drain and refill
With oil filter change 4.0 (4-1/4, 3-1/2)
Without oil filter change 3.7 (3-7/8, 3-1/4)

Dry engine (engine overhaul) 4.8 (5-1/8, 4-1/4)
