Thant info is in your owner's manual even though you said it was "no help". Look under capacities in the index. It will probably tell you the capacity for both a 4 cylinder engine and a six cylinder engine. Since yours is a 4, it should tell you the capacity with (more) and without (less) a filter change. If that still does not work for you, start with 4 quarts and monitor the level via the dip stick. The bottom mark is usually 1 quart below full. When you think it is registering "full", start the car momentarily and let the oil circulate into the top end. shut the car off, wait a minute and check the level again and add more oil a little at a time if below the full line.
