With filter it'* approx. 5 quarts with changing filter. Buy 5 to do the oil change, put 4 in start it up for a minute. Then check and top it off.

I think the official amount is 4 1/2 quarts becuase the filter only takes a half quart. In fram I believe its a 3387A or if your feeling interested you can put on a 1 qt filter(3980) if it fits for an even 5 quarts. No real importance to that post, just thougth it might be interesting to you.

Alright this hasn't happened again, but I have to drive a good distance tmorrow (saturday), so we are gonna hope for the best.

However with any luck I will do my oil change before I go, so we will upgrade crappy firestone crap to four quarts of Mobil Clean High Mileage 10W-30, one quart of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer, and K&N Oil Filter # HP-1001. I will take a close look at the fiter and stuff and see if I notice any obvious problems.

Well Ive done the oil change, and so far no problems. I will keep updating though

Garb...how "old" was your old oil that it didn't register any pressure?

I'm thinking we might need to put you up for a bonneville abuse award.

Dont hate me, it was 5000 miles old. There was not 5 qts in there either...

You are definately up for an award. Specially since the oil was so bad and low that it gave you zero pressure.

its really the first time its been that bad, Ive just been so busy!

...theres no excuse, i know... IM SORRY BC!!!

Dino or synthetic? I've gone further on synthetic.

not syntec... its what ever crap firestone decided my car needed.
