Yup, 6 quarts it is... 5 for the motor, 1 for the filter. Hey 05Edge, 7 FULL quarts? Are you sure it's not overfilled?

I can look again, but I saw the stick. and it was on the max fill line... maybe I need to look again. The guy said that some assembly plants use a bigger pan, now I'm doubting myself. I can say this, if it's overfilled, then I can scratch that lube place off the list. I could just do it myself, but I never have any time anymore!
