Run it until the car is warm and the oil thermostat opens, make sure you are on level ground, keep it running. Add 1 quart at a time, keep checking the dip stick....between 12-14 quarts is normal.
Don't let it get more than above 1/2 way on the stick....too full and you suck oil in thru the intake and kill mosquitos for the next week.... |
