Default Oil capacity

OK i've checked online with four sites and they all say a different thing when it come to amount of oil for my 302. I even called auto zone and there not even close. My range that i've came across is 4 all the way to 8 quarts to change the oil. So I ask what is the correct amount of oil needed when changing the oil

Only way it can be higher than 5 is if there is a big oil cooler and remote oilfilter that is way bigger than the stock on for a 302.

After you shut off a warm engine pull the stick and it should read full.
