You need with filter 5.4Qts of oil. You're perfectly fine. As easy as changing your oil is, you might give it a shot next time and get to know your application. Best of luck.

It only takes around 4.6 quarts with oil filter, but the last oil change I did for some reason took 5quarts I must have drained it fully to the last drop..

They take ~4.5-5 qts with filter for an oil change. Check your dipstick, it's there for a reason.

You should be fine with 5qt, but always check the dipstick. From what i read on here its not a problem if underfill but its the opposite if overfill
