Changing oil / gripe about manual.

I have a bad temper kind of, but it takes so much to set it off. i can be pushed real far. but i've had enough.
who the **** do i stab over this goddamn owners manual?
not on ONE PAGE ANYWHERE does it tell HOW MUCH OIL TO ADD.
THANKS FOR THE SECTION ON FILLING A PORTABLE GAS CAN. NOW HOW MUCH ******* OIL DO I ADD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

any way i added 6 quarts (2.4 SS) and noticed today that it wasn't to the full line so i added .5 quarts more and now im there. Is this to much? how much does every1 else add??
the manual is extremely helpfull and specific "be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere in the proper operating range, push the dipstick all the way back in when you are through" (page 5-16)

I hear ya man....I really needed to knwo what size the lug nuts are when i was at pepboys so i could get wheel locks and well i couldn't find,, or if it is in there, figure out what size they are. I had to instead remove a lug and bring it inside. That was super.
