Your car has a Romeo 4.6L 2V. You need 6 qts of oil with a filter change.

Taking a picture aint doing anything, 4.6 what is that? Its not a 6 quart motor I have been putting 5 in it since I have had it, always at the full mark, if you put 6 its over and I have been told that there were some earlier 02 years that did come with a windsor and it had a W vin # and the romeos had a X vin #, but it looks nobody knows here either.

See thats what I thought was wierd that it says its 6 but its only 5 and its good, I have had the car for over a year never low or any problems. I have tried looking for a date or something on the motor to see if its been replaced but no such luck.

10th letter of the VIN number goes as follows:
W states SOHC GT
X states a DOHC Cobra

As far as which engine you have, im not a GT guy but isnt head bolt count, or water pump size a tell-tale sign?

mine also takes 6 quarts to reach the full mark any less and it reads pretty low. Count the number of bolts on the valve covers then tell us how many there is.
