1. Depends if you have a manual or auto trans.

2. Depends if you do a drain and fill. Or a machine flush.

for the 97 should be about 6 quarts i believe, you can check by filling empty oil bottles with what you get out, but have extra, purchase like 8 just to be safe, and im not 100% so wait for confirmation on this
