How many quarts of synthetic oil should i put in a 2000 mazda millenia?

i have a 2000 mazda millenia s and i want to know how many quarts of synthetic old does it need. i have been searching the web for days with no prevail. please help!!|||if you also change the filter, then 4.3 us qts. however, if you use the level on the dipstick, it will probably take 5 qts. it is then overfilled. the dipstick is at best, a crude measuring device. the best way would be to drain it, and leave it drain for a while. then, change filter, and add 4.3 qts. wait a bit, say 10 minutes, so all the oil drains into the crankcase. then see where the level is on the dipstick. dont forget that when you change the oil filter, the level will go down slightly after start up, because the filter has to fill up with oil. about .3 qt.|||Whatever the vehicle specs are synthetic uses the same amount. Look in you owners manual.|||Call the dealer and ask for the service dept. They will tell you.
