6 qts

Will 6 qts hurt my engine, 08 4.ltr?

 

Oil of course, dealer my wife works at put all 6 qts in today.

 

no

 

In my opioion no. Reason is on my 3.4 it's 5.5 quarts. I change it myself always. But the dealers and quick stop oil change places use a bulk oil system that counts the volume pumped into an oil change. So there must be a margin of error factored in. Just check dip stick and make sure you are not too full.

 

Also put the filter in dry, so that could make up for the extra .5 quart. Just a thought

 

It was a dry new filter

 

That's true, forgot about that. My wife works at a Ford/Suzuki dealership, I buy my Mobil1, they use there filter, I don't have to fool with, disposal being the worst, for $8.00.

 

I wouldn't worry about the extra 1/2 quart in the slightest. As long as you're got over the full mark, you're fine. I ALWAYS put a full 6 qts. in my old 1st gen V6 and never had or will have a problem.

 

Thanks for all the replys guys. I'll check tomorrow afternoon, as I'm working nights right now, just to see were it is for sure.

I do 6 QT in my 4 cyl with no problems.

Here is a mid morning snack for you.

 

Just replace the oil filter and you will be good enough. As far as oil goes a quart low is better than a quart high since oil can froth when there is to much and cause issues.
