How many quarts of oil?
How many quarts of oil does an LT1 use? I thought it was 5??? or even 4.5??? However I was reading an LS1 thread and those guys were like 6...that seems like a lot of oil? or is my LT1 6 and I just don't pay attention?

Here is what the owner's manuals actually say:
1993
Camaro/Firebird 4.5
1994
Camaro/Firebird 5.0
1995
Camaro 4.5, Firebird 5.0
1996
Camaro 4.5, Firebird 5.0
1997
Camaro/Firebird 5.0
This is with filter change if the manual mentions it.
Just fill it to the full mark on your particular dipstick.

my car, well, my old car , didn't have a oil cooler (i don't think anyways , ? )... but it took EXACTLY 5.5 quarts to put it at the full line.
just put in 5 and you'll be fine...
