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 agree that I usually end up with about 4 quarts in the motor when I change the oil and filter.
So where's the limit (without doing any damage) 4.5 quarts? 5.0 quarts? Note: This would be a motor without a 3rd party external oil cooler (just the stock motor with stock cooler). |
