After reading this thread I went to change my oil prepared with the plastic drain plug. Turns out that my 08/12 build has a good old fashion metal drain plug and pan. Luckily the shop I was changing my oil at had the whole assortment of crush washers. I filled with 5.5 quarts and computer had it right at the full mark.

With the access door to the drain plug that opens simply by turning one screw, this is by far the easiest car I've owned to change oil on. No need to remove an entire engine tray held on by several bolts and screws to get to the drain plug and no need to remove an engine cover to get to the filter housing.
