Default how many quarts?

How many quarts of oil do you guys use? 5.5 or 6? I have a stock setup just wondering. I put in 5.5 quarts of M1 530.

5.5 qrts mobil 1 5w30. By the way, make sure auto zone gives you the RIGHT oil filter part number or you're going to have a f-ing mess in your garage. Just a warning.

I run the longer Wix 1522 filter and 6qts shows perfect on the stick.
