Max Oil capacity in the RX-8??

First time I changed oil in the 8, put in about 1qt and the dip stick is showing full.
Is that the max capacity?
I searched in the forum and the only thing I could find was a how to put in oil tutorial or something like that that said 3.8qt I'm sorry if this is a repetitive question, or if its stupid. But I don't know?

it definitely uses more than one quart. there is more than that in the oil coolers alone. i typically use 4 quarts per oil change - Buy the 5 quart jug and use the rest to replace what you burn.
