2.7L oil capacity

5.5 quarts on the money full

 

Yesterday, after only putting in 5 quarts, I added about another quarter quart and this am. Dead on the full mark

 

I've put 6 quarts every oil change since owning my truck.

 

Iv been feeling mine by the book for 10 years at 6 quarts and still runs like new.

 

I know this is a really old dead thread, but I'm genuinely curious.

I did my very first oil change on my truck at 20k miles. (first 3 included in dealer service)

I took out just at 5 quarts as it didn't overflow the 5 quart container the new oil came in, but I added another quart from another bottle. I can't read this dipstick to save my life to be honest and I've looked at it every direction I can.

Maybe the new oil is too clear and my eyes are getting old.

Is the engine capacity the same on the 2nd and 3rd gen engines?

 

Mine takes six to the full mark 4cyl -2.7 this is like politics & the world every body got a different opinion enjoy

 

6qt

 

Fill with 6 quarts and it is at the full mark on the dipstick every time. I also scuffed up the dipstick with scotchbrite and it improved reading the dipstick tremendously.

 

I have a 126K miles on my 2015 4 cylinder.

I have always used 5 quarts to refill my oil. This puts it 1/2 inch OVER the filled mark. The reason I use 5 quarts instead of less is because of the manual saying it needed 6 quarts. I just couldn't bring myself to use only 4.5 quarts when the manual calls for 6. So I split the difference with 5 and now I'm over the filled mark every time. No problems so far. Oil changed every 5K miles.

 

i'll split the difference with my 08 getting factory filter and 5.5 to hit full mark at just over 200k.

 

Since new in 2014, I put in 5.5 quarts. Gets it to full line every time.

 

Yes they "newer" 2.7's oil cap is 6.2 quarts. I put 6 in and call it good
