4.3

Don't forget to fill the filter before you install... .3 will fit in the filter...

When you drain your oil is the engine warm? Is the oil cap open so the engine has room to breathe and allow the oil to flow?

More than likely you're not draining properly. If not, my mistake...

It's appears he drive a Del Sol S? Is that correct. Then 3.5 would sound resonable for a SOHC.

3.5, and then set it down and let it run for a bit....check the level and add what is needed cause there is always some that is left inside the motor after it is drained.

Its better to have not enough and add more than to have too much!
