6 quarts????

[PSCBrenden]

I just had my oil changed this morning on the way to work. They told me the car took 6 quarts....just wondering if this is correct.

Also i used mobil 1 synthetic 5w30...

what do you guys suggest?

 

[RickieFrat]

6 quarts is correct. I use Castroyl (sp) Syntec Blend 5w-20. Where did you have the service done? I use either Ford's Quick Lane or do it myself.

My 02 GT takes 6 quarts. I use Castrol GTX 5w20 with a Motorcraft oil filter.

Yes, mine takes the same amount and I use Mobil 1 5w-30 synthetic too

All 4.6 2V Mustangs take 6 qrts. I'd suspect the 4V cars take 6 as well.

I'm running 5w30 Royal Purple Synthetic and love it!

I thought so too cuz I have an 01. Didn't someone say all 4.6's took 6?

Different years had different length dipsticks. The bottom end of the engine is the same across all years... oil pan size included. My '96 engine took 6 qts and read full with it's dipstick. Put 6 qts in the '02 and the '02 dipstick would read over full. Put the '96 dipstick in the '02 engine and it reads full. They both have the same dipstick tube. It comes down to this... Ford's goofy.

Where do you get Royal Purple?

 

[Rocketman]

I put 6 quarts into my 03 and the dipstick reads half way between L----H. I leave it that way and I don't try to fill it all the way.

Wasn't there a TSB a few years back on oil levels and mis-marked dipsticks?

 

[02camarokiller]

Where do you get Royal Purple?

It's made in Texas, but I sell it in my store. Hit me up on PM if you're interested in some.

My '98 uses 6. Why don't you check your owner's manual to see what your car takes?

 

[Turbo92PGT]

My 98 uses 8 quarts per oil change.
6 when i change the oil and filter
1 about 3 weeks later
another 1 about 3 more weeks later

piece of ****

I went to Jiffy Lube and they tried to put it 6.25 quarts nonono I stopped'em after they put in 6. A week later it was 80% full according to dipstick.

 

[narongc73]

I don't have the manual, so does the 01 take 5 or 6?
