Wondering if the online specs (capacity) are wrong. 4.2 / 4.3 VS 5.3 or 5 1/2?

Anyone else find that they need 5 1/2 qts of oil with the oil/filter change?
With that many miles, is it possible a few engine-block/head oil passages might be partially clogged and preventing full oil capacity drain-back into the pan?
