Getting ready to do my first oil change on my sIII 2.25 petrol engine.

How much oil should she take? I was told 7.5 - 8 quarts, but that sounds like a lot to me.

Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm switching over to a Rocky Mountain oil filter adapter while I'm at it.

Also curious as to common oil weight used by others, I am planning on 10w/40, is that the norm?

Thanks again.

7 Quarts sounds about right. I have to look it up each time.

I use 20w50 oil.

Including what will leak out? :D

Seriously, I can check the bible when I get home tonight.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Has anyone else switched over to the RM oil filter adapter?

My first truck I installed the AB adapter. My current truck came with one and I am not sure what kind it is.
