oil change I have run seafoam in the block and I am going change the oil and replace it with mobil 1. How many containers of oil do these engines take? I know it is a 5.7 liter but I am sure it uses a different amount of oil. I know super newb question but I have never changed my own oil. Thanks for any help.

I usually just put all 6 quarts in, and no problems. Just changed to mobil 1 10w-40 yesterday since its starting to get blazing hot around here, and I couldnt find german castrol 0w-30 anywhere.

Thanks for all of the info. I did a search and found 5.5. just got back to thread now. IT is all done. But like I said I did it before I read any responses to my thread
and did not fill the oil filter up with oil. What can go wrong if I did not? I bought the k&n one. The TA seems to be running fine.

You fill it up to avoid having a dry start. It is possible to do internal damage, its a good thing to practice and also taking a little oil and rubbing it on the gasket of the oil filter. I'd say you are probably fine, but I wouldn't do it again.
