My '02 V8 takes 6. May be different for other years.

Osain's right. probably 6.5 if you add in the amount you put in the filter

Last time i did my oil, it took like 6.5 quarts but the manual says 6 quarts, but it didnt show up on the dip stick till 6.5 quarts. But ive heard of some going as high as 7.

Mine took 6 even with a new filter. Just changed it yesterday. Its right at midway between the holes on the dipstick.
