oil quantity

So I have done a search and couldn't find the answer, or maybe I'm just not good at searching. Anyway does anyone know how may quarts of oil MINI's take? Thanks

4.7 quarts to the drop will put it on the top edge of the dipstick. I learned the hard way and used 5 quarts per the manual and had to drain off about a cup to be at the proper level.

I have always used 5 quarts (with filter) and that puts the level perfect on the dip stick.
