I just stopped by the dealership to pick up the oil cause the RX 8 tends to eat oil because of the rotary engine. He told me 5 quarts of oil to fill it up. I would suggest always keeping a few in your trunk though for the times you get caught off guard at a gas station because your oil is low. Check it often!!

What is the engine oil capacity of 2004 Mazda RX8?
On the one hand, it holds between 7 - 8 quarts in total. On the other hand, so much of it stays in the oil coolers and hoses that you are lucky to get any more than 4 quarts out when you change the oil, even though it takes very thin oil. So the more practical answer is probably that you will need to add 4 quarts, usually, when you change the oil.
