Mine takes 2 quarts, and maybe a bit more just to get to the top line. if I replace the filter, and drop the sump, The book says 2300 cc. So go 2 quarts and 1 pint, and see where that puts you. on the window. My first oil fill after putting the motor back together, I used a 1liter water bottle, and put 2 of those in. Since a Quart is shy of a Liter, I have started just getting 2 quarts,and top it off as necessary. (I do go though a quart every 250 miles) Other post. I suppose cc is metric, so the supposation is that 1000 cc is equal to a liter. (i should probably google this factoid, but I am not) so 2000cc is 2 liters. A can of pop here in the US is generally 12 ounces, the comparable is about 250 ml. Does that help? Get your engine on a flat surface, and add till the oil is at the top line.
good luck

Enough to fill it but not go above the max line?
It lists it in the manuals you can download on the GARAGE section here.

Thenak you Tobie,
