Do you have a manual? The capacity is about 3.5qts.

Best oil? Everyone has a recommendation. If it were me, I'd probably use mobil 1 10W40.

I use Redline synthetic motorcycle oil in 10W40. Any motorcycle synthetic oil (4 stroke of course) will work good. Some people like to run semi-synthetic oil, which is also good. Mobil 1, Motul, Amsoil are all great brands.

I use mobil 1 with the oem filter. before you change your oil out put a bit of seafoam in there, ride around for 100 miles and than change out your oil. it will clean everything out very well; however its a very heated conversation oil and seafoam.

I would recommend synthetic if you ride hard or its cold where you live, otherwise save the money and go with the rotella T... After reading up of course.
