How many quarts.

Thanks for posting that acmillr I knew that I READ my owners manuel correctly. And if my memory serves me right the 96-98 manuels also said 6 quarts for the 4.6 correct?

Not sure, but I doubt the 96-98 cars read 6 quarts. However, anything is possible.

I ALWAYS run 6 quarts with no issues. Even if you have the 01 or older like me. The only difference is we have the old dipstick and our owners manual is printed to reflect that dispstick. Use 6 quarts and save yourself the trouble down the road

carnut59 · November 7th, 2009, 10:03 PM

I always ran 5 quarts, the recommended limit on a 2000 GT, until I understood the oil starvation problem tha ACMillr mentions. It is my understanding that the only thing Ford changed is the mark on the dipstick when it changed the recommendation to 6 quarts. Since then I have been running 6 quarts.
