The C5 holds 6.5 quarts of oil.
With that said, there are two full indications on the dipstick. Early years show full at the top of the hash mark (normal full indication).
Later years (not sure about the cutoff) show full at half the hash mark (due to GM changing dipstick tube/stick).
After you drain your oil, and lift the rear higher (to drain out an additional 4 ounces), put in 6.5 quarts of oil. Run engine. Let sit for at least 7 minutes, and observe oil mark, this is your full line. Of course this is on a level surface.
