Dave, if you read full on the sticks, drain one engine and replace the same amount you pull out. That should get you really close, then just add for the filter, run and top off if needed.

Pretty sure this covers yours. 6.2 US gallons.

You are really going to like the oil changer, makes the change so much easier. I bring a couple of 5g empty jerry jugs with me. Insert the tube end of the oil changer and pump out the oil. Then simply reverse the switch and put the tube into the new oil pail pumping it into the engine.

That oil changer is one thing I would dearly like to install.......I am jealous....... 
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.

Filter change is not that bad. U just need some oil absorbent pads and some HD large easy zip lock bags. Loosen filter, place a zip lock bag over it and spin it off into the bag. There are some great odor removal sprays out there, One called Zero Odor works great.

Thanks but I think I will leave that nasty job to them
