How mutch oil for a 2.3 auf engine

hi, do you see oil on ground when you park? - could be oil drain plug is not put on properly- also, do you see blue smoke coming from tail pipes?- could be bad piston rings---- look for ooil in engine bay -look down and see if leaking- that's a lot of oil to lose- keep an eye on oil level every time you start the car to avoid severe engine damage!!!- put oil as you need until fixed- happy trails!!

If it's the one with the 2 needle gauges on it and a flame design case then it's most likely
125 Watts x 4 at 4 ohms stereo
250 Watts x 4 at 2 ohms stereo
375 Watts x 4 at 1 ohms stereo
1000 Watts x 2 at 1 ohm mono

Also if it is that one they're pretty old and don't really go for much now, I'd put it up for 70pounds and see if you get any interest

Oil filter replacement:

1. Removing:
"a" tabs
(1) Filter element protective cover
(2) Seal
(3) Filter element of the oil filter
(4) Plunger tube.
Untighten the filter element protection cover.
The filter element protection cover incorporates a 27 mm on flats Allen screw with 2 lugs at "a" which enable it to be held in a Facom S27 HLA socket.
Remove the cover (1).
2. Repair: When removing the filter element, the plunger tube ( 4) frees the oil return pipe, thus permitting the oil remaining in the filter element to return to the engine sump.
The filter element ( 3) and plunger tube (4) assembly should be replaced at every service.
Filter element protective cover : Tightening torque : 2,5 (0; -0,5) daNm. Proceed in the reverse order to removal.

Engine oil capacity with oil filter replacement = 6.0 litres.

Here's the information your looking for and thank you for using Fixya

oil capacity will be in your owners manual, should be marked for a drain and fill and for a drain and fill WITH filter change. as to the oil grade. seasonal temperatures mean different grades, generally newer cars (ie 1998 or newer) generally just like a 5W-30, i usually go with a 10W-30 though anyways (no cost difference usually). your manual will also tell you what size filter you need. ok, first you should loosen the filler cap on top first just so we get airflow in the block. on the bottom of the engine is the oilpan, it will have bolts all around the edge of it (dont touch these) and one right on the bottom of it, sometimes just off to one side, put your catchpan under this bolt and remove the bolt, the oil will now come out (make sure your pan can hold at least 10 litres as some engines can hold ALOT of oil. using your oil filter wrench, remove the oil filter (cylinder shaped usually near the oil pan). careful since it will also be full of oil. once everything is drained. replace the plug on the oil pan (do NOT forget the gasket if your plug has one). using fresh oil, take your finger dip it into fresh oil and run it along the rubber gasket on your new oil filter and screw it on BY HAND till it feels snug, then go 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn more. down the filler cap ontop pour in 3/4 of the capacity of fresh oil that is stated in your owners manual, let it sit for 30sec-1min and check your dipstick 2 times for an accurate read. continue filling and checking till you meet your full mark on the dipstick keeping in mind that once the level gets onto the stick 1 litre can make the difference between a low and full level read. once you reach full, close the filler cap, run the engine for 1 minute, shut it off and check the level 2 times again, it should have gone down slightly since the filter is now full aswell, check and fill to full mark again and you are done. be sure to dispose of your used oil and filter in a safe way, most automobile service centers can take the used oil and filter and dispose of it for you safely.

using a high grade full synthetic is the best.
the oil grade which is 10w30 is for average driving conditions.
for winter,5w30 and 10w40 for summer is also recommended by alot of car manufacturers.The oil filler cap will tell you the oil grade.

Your car holds almost 8 quarts of oil and it doesn't need changing untill you drive 8,000 to 15,000 miles
