My manual says 4.5 quarts for my 3.8L. And whenever I check the dipstick its full.

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

Its 4.5 Qts with the PF47 or 5 Qts with the PF52.

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.
