This is absolutely redic. but I just did my first oil change in the balt and I can't read that damn dipstick for nothing. I've got a hair over 4 quarts in and it looks like its reading full. How much oil do these cars normally take?

 

I usually add around 4.5 quarts.

 

I sure appreciate it, getting ready to go on a 6 hour drive and didn't want to screw anything up!

 

owners manual?..I dont drive a t/c lol

 

I tried the manual but couldn't find an amount of oil to use, just when and why.

 

It's page 5-125 of your manual.

5.0 quarts or 4.7 litres. I don't pay attention to the dipstick during the fill, I put in the 5 quarts.

 

5 quarts for my turbo. I just changed the oil on thursday if that helps. First oil change too!

of course, full synthetic only

 

thanks everyone, of course full synthetic, I used mobil 1!

 

5 qts. overfills mine, I know that's what the manual says but I use 4.5 and it reads full on the dipstick.

 

Changing my oil for the first time right now and also couldn't find the info in the owners manual.

Thanks!

 

yup 5 quarts

 

use amsoil.

 

i have a **** load of tools (lift being one of them) and i dont have a damn tool to get the oil filter thing off all the sockets are to bulky (impact ones)

i was gonna put that good ol walmart supertech in it.. its rebottled Havoline supposedly but whatever it is i'v had it in the past 4-5 DD"s and alot of people with LS1's have been using it with much success.. i will change it out at 3-3.5 doesn't matter what the oil meter says.. oh and there is almost 1,800 on my car atm was gonna change it out now i feel thats already to much on the original oil

little read on it for u guys
