Oil Capacity

Kinda stupid Question. I have read the manuals on oil capacity. Which states 3.75 quarts. I change my oil frequently. I put 3 quarts in start and run for awhile shut it off and its a little above the F in the window. I've searched many threads in this forum and many people say they use 4 Quarts. I feel that would be overfilling it. Any comments would be helpful.

How much oil EXACTLY are you guys using?

I have an 02' busa
 
I always change oil with engines hot to get the best drain possible. I always change the filter at the same time because I think it's needed. I don't exactly put the full four quarts of oil in but I come close.

If you don't change the filter that would leave some oil in the system.
 
Oil and filter change, I use almost 4 quarts too... skip the filter and you might get 3 quarts or a touch over..
 
Also remember that unless you do it with the engine oil hot, you probably are not getting it all out of the crankcase.
