Until the dipstick reads full. I think 6 quarts. I think the manuals were misprinted back then.

I do 5.5 keep the the 1/2 a quart for a little later because some will burn off. Nothing wrong with 6.

Thanks for the info, I put half quart of syn Lucas in, thought it would be good because of the water like 5w-30 I put in.
