Re: oil change
As said, 3 quarts (2.96 to be exact).
Also, you can find the owner's manual on the Yamaha site under "My Yamaha". |

Re: oil change
Just did mine yesterday. 3 quarts brings the fluid level right to the mark.

Re: oil change
Not sure how much volume difference there is between 3.0 quarts and 2.96 quarts. I'm guessing .04 quart would add up to maybe a cap full of oil.
That said, I just dump 3 full quarts of oil into the filler neck and call it good. Using this method, the dipstick is always right on the mark.
