If I remember correctly, 6 quarts. I would start the car with 5(follow the install instructions!), then add as necessary.

The kit now has instructions?!?

... NICE!

When I only used 5 quarts the car didn't have enough oil pressure to VTEC. I use 6 quarts.

Mine took more than 6qts. the first time. After that every time you change the oil it will take just under 6qts since the oil cooler and lines still have some oil in them.

the dipstick measures the oil level in the oil pan; this shouldnt vary at all; keep it full.

Yes, the dipstick should always be full, but just keep in mind that the extra oil lines will take about a quart so when you fill your car with oil the first time it will take about another quart extra.
