6 qts fills mine after a change, plus some in the filter. Try 6 qts, check it, if it's ok start it and let it run, then check again and top off if necessary. joe | ||

My 97 will hold 5 1/2q. with a new filter. My 99 will hold 6q with a new filer. I have wondered if the dip sticks were the same on the two trucks. But 8 quarts seems like alot. | ||

i don't know why i typed that i ment 6.5 quarts start then add to ..well to get tech. 6.95 quarts ..i must have been tired after working all night or maybe just compensating for the oil that prob. leaks here and there |
