Oil for the 5.0??????
I am facing a bit of a dilema. I have an '89 GT 5.0 . I have changed the oil in the car myself several times, but recently due to the convenience factor I took my car to a Oil can henrys. The next day after the car had sat a while, I decided to check my oil. Upon checking the oil I noticed that it had been overfilled. When contacting them they stated that they added 5 qts., and it shouldnt take any less.
I decided to drain the oil and do the oil change myself, I didnt want to drive the vehicle over full. I added 4 qts. and checked the level and to my dismay the dipstick read over full. I started the vehicle to cycle the oil through the filter and the oil level went to full???????? This cant be right!!!!! 4 qts. is not enough.....
I called Landmark Ford and they stated that the vehicle should take no less than 5 qts. I even had them check the part # on the dipstick.........PLEASE HELP!!!!

I did drive it after I put in the 4qts. thinking it would drop, if fell to the full mark on the dipstick. I have been told by some it should take 5qts. and some say 6, this is hard for me to believe????
