Yes, 6 quarts. You may need an extra 1/8 to 1/2 quart for what'll remain in the filter IF you want it right up to the upper mark on the dipstick (as unneccesary as that is).

Owners manual has all this info.Don't ever ask a dealer about oil, they could prolly tell you where to buy a nice neck tie though.
