So for a factory 2.0L, I believe the number of quarts of oil is 3.7 for an oil change. Of course, there is a lot of room down in the sump.
How much oil can you put in without doing any damage? And just run the car as normal on the street? I'm curious as to whether this could help a 2.0L motor with cooling. |

I think most of us just add 4 quarts after we do an oil change, and call it good enough. Running a little high on the oil level shouldn't hurt anything, and can actually give you a moment longer with the oil pickup submerged when you go around a hard corner...
