Oil Level 3.8 v6

mease87 · May 20th, 2009, 09:15 PM

I know. well i think i know. that the 3.8 mustang takes 5 quarts of oil. i put exactly 5 quarts in every time i do an oil change. but on the dip stick the level is always in the middle between low and full. or high and low i forget.

How often you do it??

5 qts of oil with a filter change will give an oil level halfway between the full and add mark. That's normal. It appears to be about 2 qts difference between the marks.

yeah last time I take my car to jiffy lube, it says it like over full so they didnt drain it all the way so now I have a mix or half synthetic and synthetic lol. Im going to change it again myself sometime.

If you're satisfied with the service then all the power to you, that is a good price. I'm just one of those do - it - yourself and forget about it guys.
