How many oil containers do I need to pour onto my 96 z28? For the oil change?

Thanks

 

5 quarts

 

Make sure you fill the new filter up with oil before you put it on.

 

thanks

I dont mean to highjack this thread, but does it take 5 quarts of transmission fluid to fill an a4?

 

From the 1994 owner's manual: 10 pints is 5 quarts.

Automatics can be a little tricky. I ususally fill and check the dipstick often (and move the selector through the gears). You don't want to over-fill an auto.

 

Hey Shoebox,
Do you believe it is very possible for your tranny to shift weird if you overfill it a bit?

 

Over-filling can cause foaming and lack of lubrication. I would imagine it could affect shifting if the fluid supply was aerated.

 

Thanks, I dont have an owners manual.

 

Now you do.

 

Thanks again.

 

it could be 4.5 quarts on the oil. every time i go to the autoparts store they try to sell me a 1/2 quart filter for my car which is the replacement now. i always have to specify AC pf1218 which is a 1 quart. im not a big fan of overfilling engines, so it just depends on how big your filter is. obviously get the longer one if you can.

 

AHAA!
THANKS A LOT SHOEBOX!!!
