My 01 takes 8 qts to fill it completely including the oil filter. Pour in about 7 1/2 qts than check it, and top it off.

This is not the first oil change on the car. What i meant was this is the first time I am going to change the oil by myself on this car. The 4 year maintainence warranty recently expired.



Thanks for everyone's replies.
