How much Oil do you put in your 4.6?

[SonicBlue2v03GT]

I started a thread about this last week or so. My 03 took 6 quarts. Its maybe just a tad under right at the halfway mark of min and max. I could maybe drop a quarter or a quarter of a quarter qt. <--- say that three times fast.

But im sticking with an even 6 qts.

hmm? on the manual it says 5qts.. and the dipstick read just a little above the "min" mark. So I added another qt and it's at the optimum level

i use the motorcraft filter with mobil 1 5w30, change it every 5000 miles if i drive my panther normally, 3000 if i get nuts and set the cruise control at 90 for extended periods of time.

What kind of oil filter does everyone use? I use K&N

I use a Motorcraft filter and Valvoline 5w-20 every 3,000 miles.

My combo exactly.

5qts fills my 2000 perfectly.
(Windsor motor = less oil)

Me too! 1999 GT.

5 quarts in my '00 GT (Windsor). I have to tell the service department each time to use only five quarts.

By the way, I used to change my own oil. Then I found out that at the Lincoln-Mercury dealership (where I bought the GT as a trade-in), they charge only about 22 bux for an oil change and that includes Motorcraft part-synthetic 5 w-20 oil and a Motorcraft filter. Can't beat that, plus L-M service has been excellent and they know my 'Stang pretty well since it's all in the Ford family.

6.5 quarts in mine.

'03 GT - 6 quarts Castrol GTX 5W-20 I use the top of the line Fram filter. I have been using Castrol for close to 20 years and I love it. No problems and every engine I have used it in has been solid.

 

[coyote595]

Motorcraft filter.

i believe 01+ have romeos and 99-00 had windsors

My '04 has 11 valve cover bolts on each side and there is a "W" written on the block. Does this mean I have a '04 Windsor??

 

[Ajax_02GT]

6 quarts of Castrol 5W-20 with a Motorcraft filter in my 02 GT. It takes the oil level to about 2/3's up between the min and max mark.

 

[KronicRacer]

five quarts on mine. i filled it with six on the first change and the dipstick read too much. went back to the manual and it stated 5 quarts

 

[mrvax]

5 1/2 qts for me. I have a different dipstick than the stocker.
