it can take as little as 5 and as much as 6. only way to tell is to change it and check the oil level.

On the s2k oil changes I've done (300 +) They take about 5.8 quarts. 6 quarts puts it barely above the top X. I always put 6 in mine.

HOWEVER.....the car sits for over two hrs with the plug out while I'm working on other stuff, and the car slightly up in the rear and tipped to the passenger side.

Many variables to changing oil. Best advice is (if your doing oil and filter) is to put 5 in, run it for 20 seconds, shut it back off and check it.
