I think the 3.8 takes 4.5 quarts. Try this method. Pour some fresh oil directly into the filter. This help stop the engine running dry on first re-start. Then add 4 quarts and walk away for 30 minute. This lets the oil settle through the engine into the oil pan. You get a more accurate reading on the dip stick. Check the oil level BEFORE you add more oil. If it reads more than half Start and run the engine for about 30 seconds to check all the dash lights go off, there's no warning lights and the oil filter has been filled correctly.
Again walk away for 30 minutes to let the oil settle. Recheck the oil level. On the dip stick it is usually around One litre of oil between the Low mark and the Full mark so use that as reference when you top up with the last half quart. Don't add more than 4.5 quarts as too much can cause problems.
depends what engine you have, get model # and when you get your oil at auto parts, tell them what you have and they'll give you the right amount & proper filter
Some of them have an oil plug at the front of the pan, as well as the regular one. You have to drain them both. The front one only holds a quart or less.
Use 10w40 motor oil. Any major brand; Pennzoil, Mobil, Shell, etc.
2.7 quarts w/o filter change.
3.1 quarts with filter change.
3.4 quarts if doing engine overhaul
Pleas rate this answer. Four diamonds would be nice.
Thanks kolejoca!
It only has 1 oil pan which is call a dual resreve. One oil plug is a the bottom of the pan the other is at the front of the oil pan. Look at the front of the oil pan for the other drain plug. Make sure on how many quarts of oil it takes. ( I know 5.0 take 5 quarts including oil filter. But then again its a van double check)
