                4.5 quarts is correct....I've never seen anything that says 5 quarts.

                          According to Autozone's website, it's 4.5 quarts with filter.

                            my manual says 4.5 but at my old job, we always put in 5 in the 3.8L of firebirds and camaros and it came out perfectly, everytime, every single time.

                              /shrug 4.5 shows good level for me on dipstick. No sense adding another .5 quarts.

                              Edit: not trying to start a fight with you BLLDOGG. It's not a big deal, I'm no technician. I just read my manual and it came out fine for me.
