Hey Fellas , so I’m getting close to starting my 2.4L. I’ve read that the original 6 takes 9 quarts. Mine is slightly larger as stated. I want to start adding oil to the system. Not only to look for leaks but want to get some in the block so I can rotate her without fear of
scuffing up metal that shouldn’t. I know your supposed to check when hot and running. How much would you add at first. Any starting procedure tips. It is carbed and does NOT have a front cooler. Appreciate any insight and experience. Cheers, Dion Engine porn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

I usually put about 9 quarts in my car and then take it for an easy drive to get it hot and make sure the oil cooler thermostat is open and then I checked it and top it off. I would guess about 10 to 11 quarts. I am guessing as I can never really get all of the oil out of the system.
