Usually about 5L or so, depending on how well you drain it and the size of the filter.

maybe he got confused with US quarts, which it does list as 6.1quarts on a dry engine. or you can add a little extra if your car pukes oil.

L > USQ > 6.1 > 6.5

I realize that outcome-based learning and recreational drugs have changed thinking among younger folks vs. when I went to school, but I am still not following that logic, lol.
