Check the owner's manual or call a dealer.

Most likely around four quarts, but you can add three quarts and check the oil. Then fill it from there. If you absolutely must know just call your local dealer service department and speak with someone in the service departrment.

General rule is, one quart per cylinder.

4 cylinders = 4 qts.

Buy 5 Quarts and a filter, Drain oil and change filter, put in 4 quarts, run engine and check for leaks, turn off and wait 2 minutes, Check oil level with dipstick, adjust if necessary. Write down the result.
