Idiot question time, is it 4.5 or 5.5L in the 2.1 engine?

Hoping for 4.5 because the wifes new car is 5.5 so i'd only need 2 bottles of oil!

5.25L standard, but the ally sump (which i've got) says 4.75L

Slow learner!

And just to further confuse the issue I came across this:

Is there a (rational, sorry I should know better

), explanation why cars with & without a/c have different oil capacities?
