Put in 4.5, then keep checking as you go... never go by what the specs are....each motor is different (carbon build up, sludge, etc)

hey thats cool i just did mine today also. i put some engine restore in with 5 quarts of oil and the oil gauge is a little right of vertical. thats 5 quarts plus 19oz so id say 5 and a half is good. i just switched to full synthetic from regular mineral so i figured id add something to help the seals out

I am about to do some gasket replacing and tranny work... when I fill up the oil again i'm putting in valvoline high milage oil... prolly sings to the same tune as those additives

i think 6 is way too much
the owners manual says 5 quarts and i put in 5 quarts including the engine restore and it barely registered on the oil guage so i kept adding till it got close to vertical and 5.5 was a smidge past it.
