Well when you drain the oil and change the filter how much oil is left in the engine? Just wondering

I would say damn little.

Buy 6, throw 5 1/2 quarts in it, start it and let it run for a minute or so.

Shut it off, smoke a cigarette and/or drink a beer then check it again.

You'll be good.

I believe the manual says 6.5 with a filter change.

[ctrlraven]

Only one time have I had to add half a quart.

[JOEMERC]

You could put 7 quarts even cause our crankshaft counter weights are above the top edge of the oil pans ,I remember seeing a video on our engine and our pan actually could hold 10 quarts of oil not that I would do that,I run with 7 quarts, Mobil 1 myself.

For me 6 quarts is enough. Once I had to put in 7 to get it to read full. Strange.

[dmjarosz]

6.5 quarts for me. Puts the oil level right at the top of the range on the dipstick.

Don't mean to hyjack but how much capacity does installing a remount mount oil filter add?

I like the way you think! Cheers Mike! :beer:

Seriously though, I'm curious to know why there is a 1/2 quart discrepancy between some members here! :confused:

Some read the owners manual..... some don't.

The manual says 6.0 quarts.

Geeeeeez this is a high tech site! Making me feel like a master Mech!

[Zim Hosein]

The manual says 6.0 quarts.

I don't have the printed Owner's Manual on hand, but the *.PDF of the '04 Owner's Manual shows the exact refill capacity as the photo you posted ctrlraven. :)

Perhaps the discrepancy "we're" seeing w/ engine oil capacities after draining the and changing the filter is due to the fact that the car is not on level ground... just a thought. :confused:

I let my car sit for 20-30 mins while leaning to the side where the drain plug is to get more out but still get about 6 quarts out.

I also tilt the car slightly, but I use the one more beer method.
Due to a friend getting 3rd degree burns on his wedding ring finger from the starter terminal, I do not wear a watch or jewelry when working on the car.
A friend was bragging he changes the oil on his Chevy is less than 20 minutes. I always take over an hour. I let the last of the oil drip out. The dirtiest sludge is in the last of the oil to drip.

You'll get more oil if you drain it when warm.

[GetMeMyStogie]

You'll get more oil if you drain it when warm.

And you'll get it out sooner, and any suspended particles which might have settled (sludge?) will be re-suspended so the first drop is no less contaminated than the last.
