    Gen 3 takes 4.4 US qts, 4.2 litres up here. Funny thing: I've been VERY carefully measuring out 4.2 litres (have a large, graduated pitcher), and finding it ends up almost 1/4" below the top mark, a few oil changes now. Which is fine I think. I don't top it up, and so far it doesn't budge between oil changes. Admittedly short interval though, 6 months and 4K kms at most.

    I'd shop around for a head gasket replacement. Especially if you can get it done for under $1000
