Oil dipstick?

How much oil do you put in the 2.7.. i figured a out 5. But everyone keeps saying 6 or 6.5 what is the correct amount?

 

What does your owner's manual say?

6.5 sounds more like the 3.4L though.

 

Lost im affraid.. i thought so to but apparently they use the same dipstick for the 2.7 up to the v6.. so its kind of misleading

 

5.4 qts dry so 5 is about right. I always use the 5 qt when I do oil changes and still have a little extra.

 

My 2.7 takes 5.25 to the full line. 5.4 is slightly over.

 

5.5 qts for the 3.4l, usually ends up taking me about exactly that every time.

 

Put 5 in, start it, shut it off & wait 10 min. Check & add to full if needed. IIRC, my 2.7 took a little over 5.

 

Yeah I usually get 5 qts in until it's full after draining it, but once you run it the new oil filter will absorb some and it'll require a bit more before it's said and done. Almost always exactly 5.5 qts for me (3.4l v6)

 

I honestly don't even keep track.

Just keep adding oil until the level shows up on the dipstick, then start it and run a minute or two, then top it off.

 

Owner's manual says 5.7 with filter for 3RZ. 5VZ is 5.5.

 

Is the filter that much smaller on the 3.4? The filter on the 2.4/2.7 adds 0.7 liters, but the filter on the 3.4 adds only 0.3 liters.

 

Per my 2002 Manual, 5.7 quarts is used on my 2.7 3RZ engine.. I always add 0.1 or 0.2 quarts over just to make sure
