I have a 1.5 L and need to do an oil change, I've been meaning to AllData it at school but haven't had the chance, I bought 5 quarts partially cause it burns a little bit of oil so I can have some leftover to have. How much oil should I put it in? Thanks in advance.

 

4.5 quarts

I always use 3.7......

 

I've always used roughly 4.5.

At the very least 4.

When ever your dipstick reads full, you are fine. Start with 3.5. Run it for a second, check the stick.

 

Ya i just pulled out the manual and you guys are correct. No wonder i've never had any issues with burning too much oil haha. I guess that its better to have too much then too little.

The helms manual stated:
After complete rebuild ~ 4 - 4.2
Oil change w/ filter ~ 3.5 - 3.7
Oil change no filter ~ 3.2 - 3.4

If those numbers aren't dead on, they are close.

 

That's what I figured because that's what my Helms says
