If you feel the need to purge every last bit of old oil from your engine, you could easily do a double or triple change. I don't feel the need for that level of cleanliness after an oil change.
Nor am I worried about oil filter frequency because the filter is horizontal and most of the oil it in drains. It would take a lot of junk in the oil to fill the filter element to a point it would stop filtering oil.
As far as automotive capacity compared to bike capacity, let's not forget that huge transmission that is serviced by those same 4.1 quarts. More than likely only two quarts would be needed for a stand alone motor. My two cylinder Honda AC generator uses only a single quart.
