The engine will take NO more than 3 quarts of oil including what goes in the filter prior to installation. The manual calls for 3.6 quarts but that quantity is incorrect for an oil change. Don't fill the oil tank more than 1/4 to 1/3 above the add mark on the dipstick. Mobil 1, Amsoil, Redline or Royal Purple are all gool choices for syn.
The primary/tranny will take 32oz (1 quart), it can easuly be added through the primary chain inspection cover.

RE: oil ?
On the subject of oil, I would like to add this. It is best to begin to use synthetic oil while your engine is in its earlyr stages. The reason for this is because synthetic oil is very slippery(for lack of a better word). Your engine seals swell to close off any leakage of oil. When putting in synthetic from regular dyno, the seals will not close off as well therefore, you can get oil leaks more readily. The sooner you begin to use synthetic oil, the better.
