I use 4 1/2 quarts, and it fills to the full mark on my dipstick.

every Vortec 4.3 generally uses that amount. I think even the new one in the full size trucks.

The 4.2 in the Trailblazers do, too.

The vehicle I have seen so far that takes the most oil is the newer Super Duty with the Powerstroke. 15 quarts!
