If you let it drain a long time, and you changed the filter it's 4 on the safe side!

4 would go WAAAAY past the dipstick on mine.
The Helms says 4.2 for engine overhaul, so I guess if your bone dry and don't add oil to the filter before reinstalling you can squeeze 4 in.

I put 4 quarts all the time in....no probs....
Old Ford habbit.Check oil light comes on at start up and goes away 1 second later.
No worries or issues.
But, I would only go 4 in the future.
