how many qtrs bottles of oil do i need to refill my honda prelude 97, it is
 

a 2.2 L engine?

5 1/2

Careful, if its a 4 cylinder add in 3 quarts and check it. Drive it lightly and check again, fill if necessary. Do not overfill. It may take 5 quarts when all the oil is out of it but for regular maintaince all the oil is not drained from the engine so you do not need that much, just watch how much drains from it and log how much you put in. After a while you will know what each oil change will take.
