Oil capacity
 

OK i've checked online with four sites and they all say a different thing when it come to amount of oil for my 302. I even called auto zone and there not even close. My range that i've came across is 4 all the way to 8 quarts to change the oil. So I ask what is the correct amount of oil needed when changing the oil

a stock pan should hold 5 then i would double check it

RE: Oil capacity
 

5 qts with filter change.

5 qts. what idiot told you 8?

RE: Oil capacity
 

Only way it can be higher than 5 is if there is a big oil cooler and remote oilfilter that is way bigger than the stock on for a 302.

Advanced Auto told me 8. I replied your outta your f!?kin mind. I done 5 but for some reason my check oil light is on now. I am running Royal Purple now no that it should make a difference

RE: Oil capacity

After you shut off a warm engine pull the stick and it should read full.

wtf? when oil is warm it reads higher than normal.

RE: Oil capacity
 

5 qts with oil filter change. I promise you.

So what. It may even read high when it's cold due to oil draining back to the oil pan. Either way, warm is the correct way to check it.

The only thing I can think of to check cold is tires.
