Oil capacity

What is the oil capacity of the 3VZ-E V-6 engine, with a new oil filter? I know, look in the manual, but I don't have it at the moment.
Thanks,
-Bryan

I was use to putting 5.2 in them with the shops pumps. But some of that went into my shoe cause it leaked.

If you pour 5 quarts straight in you'll be good to go.. Might have to add just a tiny bit after some driving but you'll be at least half way up the dipstick at 5 quarts. I just did it today and it worked out fine.
