Tomas, what do they mean by "3.8(4.0, 3.3)"?

Lemme spread out what they printed a bit so that it can be more easily understood...
3.8 Litres, 4.0 quarts, 3.3 Imperial quarts, depending on the measurement used locally...
Hope that helps.
Tomas
Code:
ENGINE LUBRICATION Oil capacity (drain and refill) L qt Imp. qt. With filter 3.8 4.0 3.3 Without filter 3.6 3.8 3.2
Hope that helps.

1qt goes into the filter. I have the same question, should you add 1 more qt (making the total 5) for it to be completely full?

The filter only holds about six or seven ounces of oil, which is why if you change the filter you put in 4 quarts and if you don't change the filter (it's already full of oil) you only put in 3.8 quarts.
Being very slightly over or under the 'full' line is no problem, but you don't want to be drasticly over or under. The 'fill' line means it's a full quart low, you can judge from that how much it is over or under.
