Post Oil Change, how many quarts?

The owners manual in my 2006 F-250 V-10 says 7 quarts of oil. The owners manual in my 2005 E-450, Jayco Escapade Motor home (built on a 2004 chassis thus being the 2V motor) shows 6 quartsof 5W20 oil.
Can anyone confirm these numbers?
Thanks, I only want to get it correct.

I have always put seven quarts in my 05 V10. That makes it right to the full line on the dipstick.

Different oil pan in each one. Go by the owners manual for each vehicle.

How level the truck sits make a LOT of difference on the dip stick

On my 05 3v V10 I add just about 1/3 quart to the filter... the 6 and 2/3rds quarts go down the fill spout and after start, idle, off, and sit the stick is just shy of the top tiny hole and full hash marks by about 1/8th inch

6 Quarts on my 2001 2v V10 always made her about 1/8 inch high on the stick, and I simply accepted that as "close enough" and did not worry a bit about a "tad overfull"
