Whoa, whoa. 5 and 1/2 quarts of oil? I have to run 6 and 1/2 to get it to the fill line! What gives?</font>

The manual doesn't say to fill it to the "full" line on the dipstick. I've own 3 different 5.4's in the last 3 years and every one goes to a half way point between "low" and "full" with the recommended 6 quarts. 5.5 would still bring it to within parameters and lower the chance of beating the oil in the pan.
