The manual just says to not go past the hashes on the dipstick. However, when I've gotten my oil changed in the past, I'm 98% sure it's always been 4.5 quarts.

| Put in 4 quarts then read dipstick, add as needed. The dipstick has marks on it for a reason. |

| Ok on a typical 3800 with a napa 21040 (gm short filter) you will need 4.5qts oil with a napa 21036 filter (longer) you will need 5qts. Joe could back this up as he worked for an oilchange shop for a while... |

I'm surprised it isn't covered in the capacities section. |
