Me and my friends were debating how much oil our car uses. I said about 4 1/2 - 5 qt ? Correct me if im wrong . Im planning to do a oil change myself this weekend. Also im using Mobil 1 5w30 and 1 bottle of lucas. So how many bottles of Mobile 1 i need?

 

your on the money cuz its 4.75 quarts. i would get 4 quarts of mobile1 and 1 of the lucas. if anything check the owners manual. our dipsticks can be fussy at times but mine seems to like 4.75 quarts.

 

Thanks you for your help!

 

5 shud do.

 

It's supposed to take 4.25 quarts. In all honesty, I would probably skip the lucas. If you really want to put it in, check the bottle and see what it recommends as far as the oil to lucas ratio. I would try to avoid going over 4.5 quarts total or so, Mobil1 and Lucas.

 

well for my 95 the actual factory book that comes with the car says 4.75 quarts

 

96 = 4.25
97 = 4.25
99 = 4.25
I know this is a 3rd gen, but: 91 = 4.25

Stick with 4.25

Plus, I hate the idea of ANY engine additives. I smell nothing but trouble on all of them. they really arent needed, and if they are, your only using a bandaid on something that requires major surgery. And yes, I know Lucas is more of a cleaner, but still. . . I wouldnt use it

 

Here's what I do:
-Put in 4 quarts.
-Run the engine for a minute to circulate the oil through the engine and new filter.
-Shut it off and wait a few minutes to let it settle into the oil pan.
-Check the dipstick to see how much to add to fill it up. The area between the "Add" and "Fill" lines represents one quart.

 

3.25 bottles of Mobil 1, Lucas bottle is 1 qt.= 4.25

 

^ sounds like that would work

 

ill do the 3.25 with mobil and 1 lucas see how it goes , the reason for lucas is that im hearing the engine lifter and i want to check if the lucas will make it less noise for the lifter. <- As what people told me can someone confirm that.?

 

Put 2 qts. of Mobil 1 first, then Lucas (thick *** ****) remaining 1.25 of
Mobil 1 and let it run for 5 mins. to let the Lucas circulate.

Should quiet down some after a while (worked ok on my 3rd gen)

 

thanks for your advice
