Mine, as the manual states holds 4 1/2 US quarts with the filter change. My first oil change, the dummy put in 5 quarts, which way overfilled it. He had to do it again. I made sure I told the next oil hockey it was 4 1/2 quarts, and I was going to check it before I leave. It was right on the full mark, as it should be.

thats wierd that its 4 1/2 quarts.... thats the exact same amount my focus held and it had a smaller engine....

 

[mobomelter]

yeah its 4.5 quarts.

It's not the size of the engine (liters) it's how much the oil pan holds. Going back to older Ford's, the Pinto SOHC 4 banger held 5 quarts, as did the Ranger 4 banger, which basically had the same engine.
