Hey guys, I know this is a stupid question....but, whats the official oil capacity for the 196?

I looked through engine specs, forums, etc. And come up with no for sure number. I obviously can make a pretty close guess, but I'm curious as to how much you guys would put in yours.
 
Say's in owner's manual...only thing I can find it in is an old motors manual,'61-'62 152,4 qts. Put 4 in,run an check,depending on what filter u have,will prolly take maybe 5 qts.? Just be easy an fill an check. Jeff

Thanks! I put 5 in then a pint of the zinc treatment and the oil level on the stick is halfway up the "full" lettering. This sound close enough?
