To me, this means that none of the oil capacity measuring devices have been recalibrated to the new standard. My local Service Manager agreed when we spoke about it.

Either way, following the 'old' standard isn't likely to prematurely kill a street car because it will leave you in the OK range.
The 2003 owners manual still says to not allow the oil level to drop below the min mark or rise above the max mark on the dipstick.
