Actually a 2.2L takes 4.5 quarts of oil if you change the oil filter. I've been pouring 5 quarts in my 2007 HHR since day one (that's what is in the jug). It reads just over the full mark when freshly changed - right at the full mark at 5K miles when I change it. Usually the "oil monitoring system" says the oil is at 50%.
For the reason posted I never go over 5K on a car especially with conventional oil. To many things can go wrong in 8K or 10K miles that you'll never catch unless you drain the oil.
On a side note I checked my Mom's 1999 Taurus over the weekend. I last changed it with Mobile 1 in November 2010. She had put all of 3120 miles on it since then - the car shows 45,800 miles on it. I think it's only gotten wet at the car wash the last 5 years.
