Insert foot here!

You are absolutely correct! I recently purchased a new 04 and the manual does not have the correction page. I also looked at a service manual which also does not have it correct. I did my first change today and low and behold, it took 8 quarts. i guess there is one other truly useful piece of information here!

What an amazingly important thing for the manufacturer to screw up!

Thank you for pointing out my error.
