the suv in question is a 2008 crv. the manual says 4.4 quarts of oil but ive read and heard that the capacity is 5.3 quarts. can some one verify this? this is my cousins vehicle i usually put 4.5 qts and it puts it halfway between low and full.
 
If you put in 1/2 quarts less than capacity in winter months the oil will get to operating temperature quicker, in spring pour in 1/2 quart.
 
Yes.

Capacity should be the 5.3qts you quoted. The oil change is 4.4 qts.

They're assuming 0.9 qts is left in the engine during an oil change.
 
Yes. As long as the oil level is "above" the _add_ line you are safe.

Better to under-fill, than overfill, IMHO anyways
