Default Quick Question: How much oil?

Gonna buy my own oil to change my oil, but how much do I need? I'm guessing 5.5 liters? Did a search but didn't find the answer.
Oh yeah ,I have an 06 C6 with the Z51.

Thanks anyone!

Shoot, sorry, you're right. :o

Too many cars in the family that I change the oil for... I should know better than to go off the top of my head. Thanks for straightening that out.

Default Use the BROTHER P-Touch

I know what you mean by trying to keep track of which car takes how much oil. I have 4 cars, the C6, a 454 Suburban, and '87 IROC, and a ford Ranger P/U. I have three boys, and all have a cars - a Nissan P/U, a 350-Z, and a 6 banger 07 Mustang. With all 7 cars, it is hard to keep track.... so THANKYOU Brother P-Touch. I place a label on the inside of each hood, so i know how much oil each takes. I also print out the date and miles of the last oil change, and place it there too. This eliminates the need for memory - and being 50, I need as many way to not have to use my memory as possible.
-- food for thought.
