Got oil?

I purchased my '01 DS a short while ago, and I am making my first oil/filter change on it. I did the change per instructions in my service manual, yet I can't find the capacity for the whole system. I have 3 quarts of oil in it currently, and it will not register on the dipstick. I do get pressure, as my red indicator light does not light when the engine is running. All I really need to know is how much oil does this bike take? The manual is set up fairly well, but it doesn't have a lot of really specific tolerances and capacities on it.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]mine took 3.3 qts without changing the filter, almost 4 with filter change, I just did it last nite, I used 2 2l pepsi bottles cut in half to make a slide for the oil to drain out of the front res and into a bucket, it actually worked pretty good, better than oiling the steering shaft..

Yes, that is what I did, but I also drained the tank by the plug at the bottom, I like to get the most oil out of the system as possible.
I am using Napa 10W30, since I don't have enough of the real stuff to go around. I plan on ordering a case of Honda HP-4, before my next oil change.
