Filled up N562E for the first time about three weeks ago with AeroShell Sport Plus 4. With purging the lubrication system in accordance with Rotax Service Instruction SI-912-018/914-020, the system took between 3.5 and 4.0 quarts to fill.
This is for the Rotax 912 ULS standard installation in an RV-12.

Ummm . . . I bought a case of it from Aircraft Spruce and assumed they were quart bottles  (I hate using that word - assumed). Will check tonight when I get out to the hangar. |

Liters
What you bought from Aircraft Spruce was liters. The first fill should take about 3.5 if you didn't pre-fill the cooler and filter (ask me how I know). Oil changes run about 3 liters.

Yup, it was litres alright. So I guess the correct answer for N562E is:
(3.5 to 4.0 litres) x (1.056688 quarts/litre) = 3.698409 to 4.226753 quarts
Of course, these figures could change depending on how long you leave each empty litre bottle inverted over the oil tank to drain out the last drop.
