how much oil in my 92 SE?

Hey guys, simple question. How much oil does my 92 SE require, and what weight ratio?

Oh, and any thoughts on synthetic (Mobil 1) advantages...

Thanks,

jeff

I run Mobile 1 10w30 all season long. Mine is a 95 SSEi and it takes a little under 5 quarts.

4.5Q or 4.3L
Mobile one is fine if you've always used it but switch after many miles of regular oil is not needed. Stick with your regular oil, change every 5000 miles.

Well, i've always had the dealership change the oil... So I'm not sure what brand they've used. Other than the expensive Mobil 1, what would you recommend?

Thanks,

jeff
