Quick Oil Change Question, 5 qts.?

I forgot to double-check in the manual before I left for work. I am stopping by an auto-parts store on the way home from work to pick up some oil for the CL... does it take 5 Quarts including filter? I think that's what I read. Thanks!

Cool, thanks everyone. I had to work late today (another 12-hour day ) so I ended up not getting any oil anyway. Guess I have a project for the weekend now

Just check the owners manual it has instructions for changin the oil. You probably want to get an oil filter wrench to take it off...thats the only way i could get mine off.
