I know that the regular contour takes 5.5qt but 6.0qt puts me right in the middle on my dipstick. Whats the specified amount?? I've heard some people say 6.5qt. ??? 2000 SVT contour Black w/tan int. http://www2.gvsu.edu/~hafnerb/11h/car.jpg #1633/2150 born 11/22/99 -Mirko Racing Front Splitter -Meg's 3 1/2" slick tips -Resonator Removed -LED turn signals, brakelights -fog light fix + 55w bulbs -KKM cold air intake -Ford racing blue 9mm wires -MANY mods to come shortly!

I would not run less then 6qts regardless of what the manual states (5.8qts including filter) 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out!
