Many thanks for all of your technically aware information.

IIRC I got a little more than 8 qts. in. I had a leaky gasket which was why I went ahead and did the change. Since there's no dipstick, it's not easy measuring what I may have lost and since the pan had to come off anyway, I went ahead and swapped the filter too - it's right there. I bought 10 qts. of ESSO and opened 9. It was overflowing as I got the plug back in, but 8+ went in.
