Can you please confirm? I have my first oil change coming up since I bought it on Aug. of this year, so I just want to be sure.
Thanks.

In the 2006 models, made after February 2006 - they increased the oil capacity on the engines, as well as recommend the switch to 5W-20 motor oil. No worries, same engine, same sump capacity - different dipstick markings. Stick with the fluid capacities and oil weights as recommended by your owner's manual - unless you plan on running an extended oil change, etc. In that case - you are monitoring (or should be monitoring) oil quality carefully, so you can deviate from the manufacturer's recommendation.
