They list the v6 as 5.5 quarts in my 2016 manual, but my 2011 manual lists the v6 as 6 quarts.

I have mixed thoughts about this. Certainly, it is safe to drive with the oil halfway up the dipstick. Maybe take it for a nice drive and get the oil thoroughly warmed up, come back and park it and then check the oil like 20 minutes later and see how it reads?
