Would really be nice to know the make, model, and year of your vehicle along with the size engine you provided. 5.8 is a 351 Ford engine so it can either hold 5 or 6 quarts depending on the year and if it is a Cleveland or Windsor. Start with 5 quarts with filter change, start the engine, run 1 minute, shut down, wait 15 minutes, and then check the oil level. Add as necessary to reach the full mark. You now know the capacity.
