Actually, I have to put in ~4.5 and it'll register at "F" on the dipstick.

i don't know wtf a quart is but 4.5 litres works for my 86 gxl, but this all depends on the filter you are using and how warm the car was and how long you let it drain. I was asst mgr at a quick change shop for 2yrs, that companies policy was to drain each crankcase for a minimum of 6 min. when vehicle was at operating temperature, but yeah, use the dipstick!!!!!
