Re: oil change question
4 quarts only, dont overfill it, unless its leaking/burning some oil, then u will have to add some later on, but id change all seals/gaskets

thanks
Re: oil change question
I am somewhat baffled. I have a 93 GS V6, and I have to put in about 5 1/2 quarts. That's what autozone told me, as well as other places. Why would it be different with a 92???

Re: oil change question
yea i need to put in about 5.5 too...
Re: oil change question
Page D2-5 of the manual says Dry Engine 5.2 quarts, oil change including filter 4.2 q, and that's exactly what mine took. The manual is for a '95 model, and mine's a '97. Maybe earlier engines have bigger oil pans?

Re: oil change question
well i have 93 se and i always check by dipstick, so my advice is to check by your oil dipstick, unless you know that you have put in or someone did put in aftermarket oil pan to hold more oil for racing. my lexus uses 5 quarts though its 3.0 v6

Re: oil change question
Just fill it till, after running the engine, it shows near the top of the fill line on the dip stick. Just like you fill your gas tank to the top... [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Re: oil change question
Shouldn't you also wait a little while after running the engine so that most of the oil has a chance to drip down and give you an accurate reading?
Re: oil change question
For the record, when I said mine took 4.2 quarts, that's what I measured in, then I ran the engine, then left it for 2 hours, then checked the dipstick, and the level was exactly at the full mark. 400 miles later, its still there, so that's it, 4.2 quarts.
