I was under the impression that the engine/pan alone takes 3.75qts, but adding the filter it would take 4qts. I may be off though.
Oil lubricates the crankshaft/bearings/bottom half (doesn't/shouldn't go up to the pistons, afaik) as well as the top half (cams, valve tidbits?... err... timing chain...?) and if you have a turbo, the turbo as well. Ummm I'm sure there are some other parts it gets to, but I'm not particularly familiar with specifics of engine internals.
