I don't think your post contains 100% accurate information. Can you describe what you mean by "a proper complete drain"? I would be cauteous about telling people to refill with 6 quarts, since if I recall correctly that even goes against what the owner's manual lists.

I have drained my oil when the car is completely cold and let it drip for 2 hours and upon refilling, the car takes approximately 5.8 quarts until the oil level on the dipstick is on F.
