RE: How Much Oil
I've been doing my own oil changes for quite some time on my X Type. It holds 6.1 quarts with the filter change. I've beenusing Motorcraft filters with no problems.

RE: How Much Oil
I use Castrol Syntec (5w30)..and including an OE filter..It takes everytime I change the oil 6.5 qts exactly..Make sure you fill the new filter first before putting it on and do this oil change on a flat level surface and not on any incline.
Vegas..where to heck are you coming up with these numbers?

RE: How Much Oil
hey guys...
Iput 5L of castrol syntec oiland 1L of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer...
Is this ok?
or Should I put some more?
It's been a while....about 1500km remain to next oil change...
Can I put some 1L of lucas synthetic oil stabilizer now?
Cuz I notice that there is little noise in engine than before.
Or 500ml of STP oil treatment?

RE: How Much Oil
Bo..As you very well know, everything South of the boarder is measured in non-metric units and dispensed in the same, except for2 liter Cokes and Booze...get over it
Gunz..how many miles on your engine?...Synthetic oil requires no stabilizers..all that aftermarket crap is Snake oil IMO...And for God Sakes, don't use any STP or Slick 50..

6.5 qts Mobil 1
K&N oil filter ($13) - has a nut welded to the top for easy removal.
uses somewherebetween .5 qt and 1qt between oil changes (5 to 7k mi)
NO snake oil.
Someone please translate all that into Canadian.

RE: How Much Oil
gunz80, there is this crazy invention called a dip stick... it is how you measure the oil level in your engine. pull it out, wipe it off, push it in again, pull it out again.. ( sounds dirty I know) and check where the oil level is. Then you can decide whether or not to add more.
lets not ignore the fact that the ENTIRE world has been using the metric system for decades..... and for sure every american car is designed in metric (for decades), and the oil capacity is set in Litres.If you guys down south of the border want to package and sell oil in quarts, at least admit you are crazy... lol.

RE: How Much Oil
As you know, the American Revolution took US off the metric system back in the 1700s..so it's worked for US so far, why change?..The Oil Companies bottle the oil in QT bottles..so what you gonna do, order the stuff from Canada?..I don't think so..
