The oil capacity of the Honda Shadow VLX 600 is 2.1 liters. There will be a little more oil required to fill the oil filter at the oil change.

This bike uses 2.38 quarts of engine oil.
This is a 17 mm bolt under the crankcase, a bit to the left. Make sure it is well tightened so that no oil can leak out. Replace if necessary.
Use 15 W 40 motorcycle engine oil that is JASO MA or MA2 approved.
2.7 quarts, 2.9 quarts with a filter change.
2.8 liters without a filter change, 3 liters with a new oil filter.
It takes 2.5 quarts without a filter change.
The VLX doesn't use an oil "pan", but the drain plug is on the left side of the engine, towards the rear and nearly up against the support frame. It's a tight squeeze to get to it and best accessed if you have a motorcycle jack available to raise the bike, or else plan on banging knuckles against the ground.
