2004 Expedition, how many quarts of oil needed to change oil & filter?

for the 2008 mazda 3 (2004-2008 generation 2.0 to 2.3L)

that link uses 4.25 quarts, to allow some fluid to fill the oil filter
usually, with a canister filter, i pour some inside as well as lubricate the oil ring before spinning it on ~ that way the paper element has been "pre-charged" pre-soaked with oil before you start it up for the first time
if you have the other style filter where the oil filter is just the paper element, i'd make sure to properly torque that cap to specs & not over-tighten it ~ it's made of plastic!

your owners manual only states the amount of oil needed between the minimum line to the maximum line on the dipstick when just checking the fluid level

page 8-20 says ~ .8 quart when it's low to fill it up to the max ~ line

another site states ~4.5 quarts

as long as it's in between the 2 stated capacities, and you re-check the fluid level, you're good to go ~ just dont put the full 5 quarts in it!

6 quarts will do it.
When its on the stick give the engine a quick run and check again. Especially if you changed the filter

Your gas tank should hold about 13.1 gal.s I believe and your oil for a oil change including filter is 4 quarts only....don't overfill! I own one so I know.

The oil recommended by the manufacturer is 5W-30. You will need 7.0 U.S. quarts or 6.6 Liters

There should be no less than 5 quarts of oil including what is retained in the oil filter. In some Ford Heavy and medium duty applications as in pick-ups and truck chassis based SUV's you will find it has a seven quart capacity.

Hello, this is the oil capacity of your vehicle.

I hope this info is helpfull

A typical automobile holds 4-5 quarts of oil.....Depends on the size of motor. If changing yourself, Drain out all oil, change filter, put oil plug back in. Put 3- 31/2 quarts back into car. put oil cap on and start car. Let run for 2-3 minutes then shut back off. Wait for a few. Pull out dipstick wipe, put back in then pull out a second time...Now you know how much you need to top off level.

It may have hydraulic lifter froze up. You might try
a good oil additive in oil. If the engine has a lot of miles it may need new cam & lifters

4.5 quarts

6.0L 8-cyl Engine Code U oil capacity is 6 quarts with filter change.
