![]() Fill the car up with oil until it starts to overflow out of the valve cover then it should be just fine. j/k
![]() Dude, I'd advise you to stay clear of those people ![]() 5 qts. No more no less (whether V8 or V6). Use the Motorcraft FL-1A oil filter. Don't mess with Fram. Just stick with Motorcraft and you'll be fine. ![]()
