i think that is for the ls1 and they forgot to update the info. 6.5 is what is says in the owner manual and service manual.

Replace what leaks or burns between changes.

They were thinking ahead.

its kinda like when you buy buns and hot dogs.. they never match.. you would think the bun makers and hot dog makers would get together and make each hot dog pack equal to as many buns as you get... its all a conspiracy..

i remember when I first got my car... I didn't know **** about it right? Well one day I noticed my low oil light come on, so I figure it's no big deal... I go to autozone and buy quite a bit of oil and go back home... Well I pop the hood not totally sure of what i'm looking at, but I see the oil cap so I start pouring... I get to about my 9th quart of oil and I call my dad up... "Hey dad how much oil this thing take? I've been pouring and pouring and it aint filled up yet..."

He about **** himself... I then drove it carefully to the nearest jiffy lube and had them drain it...

Personally, I always thought the dipstick method was a fool-proof way to determine how much oil your car needed...
