Default Wrong Manual--99 C2 oil capacity?

Just realized my 99 has a manual from an '02.

I'm about to change the oil...can anyone tell me the capacity of the 99 engine?

Is it 9 quarts, or 10?

Thanks

The closest answer is 9 quarts. It is better to underfill a little rather than overfill (IMHO).
Here is the info from the Service Manual:
911 Carrera (3.4 liter engine) - 8.50 liters (8.98 quarts)
911 Carrera (3.6 liter engine MY02 on) - 8.25 liters (8.71 quarts)
Boxster - 8.50 liters (8.98 quarts)
