lol ya there are a few old people down there too........lolol

 

my manual says 5....

FWIW.. a mecanic buddy of mine says if you have the oil cooler option it will take about 5 1/2

 

it's still 5 qts. the cooling lines hold coolant.

 

Can't stand the old people...always taking 3 minutes to switch into their turning lane and braking 625 feet ahead. My horn gets used a lot.

 

OK, when I asked about the oil cooler and the cooling lines, I meant the oil cooling line going from the oil filter adapter to the cooler, the oil cooler itself and the oil cooling line going from the cooler back to the adapter.

So far from what's been posted in this thread, it seems like an oil change is 5 quarts and with the oil cooler and it's lines emptied, it all still takes 5 quarts to fill it all.

Does the cooler and it's lines not account for any volume of oil?

It would make sense that the oil cooler and it's lines should account for about another quart.

The entire oil system, including the cooler and lines should therefore take about 6 quarts to fill from dry.

Can anybody confirm this?

 

I could see the cooler holding about a cup of oil, maybe cup and a half (I've never measured it). That would be close enough to 5.5 quarts

I've always used 5 quarts every oil change. It shows fine on the dipstick every time - I don't worry about it.

 

I Hate that!!! lol

 

haaa haaaa........when we were down there we went out to the food store and we saw head lights coming at us........some old women was going up the wrong way.....we had to get out of the car and call the polices....and stop her!!! wow can u say old ***!!!! lol

 

Things like this make me lose respect for old people, I hate to say it.

 

haa haa....ya i understaind!

 

Yeah. I hated tourists. "WOW! A FRICKEN PALM TREE! Lets drive 10mph down 528!" But now i moved away. Damn, I wish i was a tourist.....

 

It sucks when they get in the way. But if they got to drive, at least they are drivin within their limits...... damn. It sounds like I am getting old myself!

 

yeah its kinnda scary going across 528 at 80-85mph with the flow of traffic and everyones hammerin the brakes and flyin around cuz some blue hair who can't see over the steering wheel of her town car is doing 35..... love florida

 

5 qts with the short filter. Roughly 5 and 1/4 quarts with a long filter.
Oil cooler will make no difference. Just check your dipstick numerous times.
Wait an hour and check it again. Go for a drive and check it again.

 

hey u r from northin mass same here!!

 

The computer at work says 4.5 qts plus filter (as in fill the filter up, put on, then add 4.5

 

How come this post kept going on what seems to be very easy to answer?????
