I put five in which is what mine calls for and then I check the dip see were its at if it looks good start it and then check it again and add accordingly but it wont be more than 6 qts unless you have a custom oil pan

I put 5 1/2 which I think was a little too much.

I don't see why these would change from year to year, but my 04 owners manual says 6 qts and It usually takes me a tad more than that to get the level to exactly the middle of the checkered mark of the dipstick.

My 04 calls for 6 as well. It takes almost 6.5 to get it to the full mark.

Weird, 6.5 seems like alot but if thats what the manual calls for I would do that.
