Default How many quarts of oil?

How many quarts of oil do I need to purchase when doing an oil change on the GS430? I skimmed through the owners manual but didn't find the info in there as to how many quarts the car uses. Appreciate the info. Thanx in advance

hah probably, well maybe not.....

but 6 quarts of oil into a cold motor is too much

over filling a motor with an extra quart is alot worse than under filling it a quart. but hey if you can afford a new gs430 you can afford a motor rebuild
