how many quarts of oil does cobalts take

 

Read thy owners manual my friend... it will tell thee.

 

its in service right now but i dont have an owners manuel they are telling me it needs 6

 

if its an ss/sc its like 6.5-7.5 its a pretty good amount. just buy 2 gallons like I do and fill it until the dipstick reads right start it left it flow for a second then check it agian, and apply as needed

 

I believe it's 6.5 for the SS/SC.

 

mine takes 7 to read full

 

ya fo sho 6.5 on the s/c

 

Since you are in a hurry, offhand I think that's right. Last time I changed mine it was a little over 5. Make sure they give you whatever is left.
And next time buy it at Walmart and take it in with you, probably cheaper.

just tryin to help

 

if you were full with 5, you didn't drain your oil all the way.

 

Or the filter !

 

anyways, why not do your OWN oil change. takes just as long and you know it's done right.

 

just read the book. it tells you how many to put in. i think it's 5 for the 2.4, but the 2.0 is more. maybe 6 or 6.5. don't add more than it tells you, dispite what the dipstick reads.

 

I always take mine to the dealer... that way it's on the service record for my VIN number... the shop here in Charlotte is good... they know what they are doing.

 

Well i work at the delaership i just wanted to make sure that it was 6 couse it sounded like a lot and i get oil changes for like $25.00 so cheap enough I guess

 

Yeah, I shouldn't have said anything cause I wasn't sure. Just tried to help cause he was in a hurry. He said they told him 6 and I was agreeing.
I had a 5-quarter last time and I remember that wasn't enough.

And of course I always let it drain for quite a while and change the filter. And it is great that these filters don't trap oil like the upside-down ones on many other engines. Or actually, maybe ours are the ones that are "upside-down"?

Yeah, good deal, just the Mobil 1 normally costs more than that!

 

I put in 6 everytime.

 

it takes 6 quarts and dont go past the full line
