6 quarts. some people go to a thicker 10W30 for the winter but I don't think it's necessary.

Rarely run hard - 5w 20 synthetic is just fine. Put in 6 qts per manual.

6 quarts will only take it half way up the dipstick, which is good as someone here documented 20 HP loss to windage if it's full.

Fill the new oil filter with oil before you screw it on.
