My oil change regimen involves pulling the plug and filter and letting it drain overnight. I use an oversize Mobil 1 # 110 oil filter. I pour some oil into the filter and swish it around to soak into the filter element and then fill the filter about 1/2 way before carefully screwing it back against the flange.
I then add 5 quarts plus another 1/4 from the bottle that I prefilled the filter with. After start up and checking the oil level later that day, my oil level on the dipstick always is exactly on the the top dot. So I can tell you even if you use a slightly oversize filter, 5 1/2 qts is the max that you will ever need with a stock engine, pan and no add on cooler.
Initial Z and DEpointfive0 like this.

When I change the oil in my 2012 nismo I start with replacing the filter, I also add a little bit of new oil to the new filter to soak the filter elements so when I start the car the oil start flowing quicker. After filter I drain and refill engine. I buy the 5 quart jugs from wal mart and that usually fills it up to the dot if not close enough, I'd rather be just under than over.
