Does any know the oil capacity of my engine. I brought 6 quarts of castrol syntec into my dealer for my oil change and they used all 6 quarts. Is that right?

Hey, Brad,<p>Regardless of what the manual states, I'd say you're still down half a quart. I've discussed this at length with a few other 2.8 30v owners and we've come to the consensus that it takes 6.5<p>Eric

Your right, I'm right at the MIN mark on my dipstick. I'll grab an extra quart on the way home.

aren't you overfilling it? is the manual or dipstick lying?

I think my fill capacity was something like 5Qts after an oil/filter change. 6.5 definitely sounds like too much.
