Ok, I have a really stupid and simple question... and so you know I am not a complete blithering idiot - I am sick and my mind is all foggy and I have misplaced my owners manual.....

How many quarts of oil in the 2nd Generation 4.0L? I usually do 5 quarts - how much do you use?

little lift, wheels and tires, prinsu rack, TRD Pro grille, some lights, and some scratches.

I bought 6 and used 5. Start with the five then run the engine for a few minutes (like 3), then check and add accordingly.
