YOU ALL NEED 5.5 QUARTS.

Use a Motorcraft oil filter. Dont put those crappy small filters on your car

when both drains are emptied and the proper large filter used, a 5.0 have always required 5.5 quarts.

Yall dont like that bolt on the front of the oil pan cause its either hard to get out , or the swaybar is in your way.
