06 HCH engine oil capacity - GreenHybrid

I'm wondering how much oil the 06 HCH actually takes. I know the manual indicates a specific amount (I think 3.3 quarts? - don't have the manual with me right now), but I also know our 05 Prius manual indicates 3.9 quarts, but anything over 3.5 is an overfill (even when replacing the oil filter). Any information from those that have changed the oil on their 06 HCH would be appreciated.

When replacing the filter, mine takes exactly 3.5 qts.

Owner's Manual said 3.4 US quart. I'll follow that.

I had posted 3.6 in another thread... but I think it was 3.4 (per us858's post). A couple of tenths isn't going to make any difference, though. As expensive as the oil is, I'm just thankful it takes so little! My SUV takes 6.5 quarts!
