Default Oil capacity on a V6 Magnum?

What is the oil capacity (with oil filter) for a V6 Manum on a 1995 Dodge B1500 van?

Nobody knows?

I got the oil changed at an A-1 auto center the other day, and on the reciept it said they put 6 quarts of oil in it (this sounded like too much), I checked the oil when I got home, and it was way over. I drained about 1 and a half quarts and it is still a little over. I was wondering what should be in it. I bought the van used, and didn't end up getting a manual with it. If anyone has a van with a V6 Magnum, could you check it and see how much is supposed to be in it?

-Thanks

The V6 3.9L takes about 3.8 quarts of oil.

The V8 5.2L takes about 4.5 quarts of oil.

Putting 6 quarts in is crasy!

I know, I didn't check it till I got home because I figured they knew what they were doing. Well, guess I won't go back there again. I should just go back to changing it myself. Thanks for the info!
