Depend on the size of engine.
4 cylinder engine 4 quarts.
6 cylinder engine 5 quarts.

4.3 ENGINE HOLDS 4.5 QUARTS WITH NEW OIL FILTER 4.8 - 5.3 -6.0 -ENGINES HOLDS 6.0 QUARTS WITH NEW OIL FILTER. 6.6 DIESEL ENGINE HOLDS 10 QUARTS OF OIL WITH NEW OIL FILTER.

With a filter change along with the changing of oil. I would start with four quarts, than start the engine let it run for a second. After that turn it of check the oil, and top off as necessary. Roughly guessing I would say it holds about 4 1/4 quarts. Or could take up to five, its safe to start engine after four quarts. BE SURE to start engine after four quarts for 10-20 seconds, and then turn off to recheck. Too much oil can be catastrophic. (if no oil is showing on the dipstick than it is more than one quart low. The lowest point on dipstick represents one quart low, the middle is half a quart, and full is full) :)

Most engines four cylinder and six cylinder are going to have a five quart oil pan. Put in four and a half quarts start the engine for a couple of minutes and shut it back off. Check the dipstick. Nine times out of ten you will need to put in the remaining one half of the fifth quart. Dodge recommends SAE 5W-30 oil in the 3.3-liter engine and SAE 10W-30 oil in the 3.5-liter engine. Selecting the proper oil for your engine will ensure that the components of your engine are protected.

The 5.0L engine comes with a 5 quart oil pan. I have a 95 mustang and I have a 7 quart oil pan installed on it. If there was a previous owner that has done any work to your car be aware of that. It wasn't until 96 that mustangs came stock with a 6 quart oil pan on the 4.6L engine. I would put 5 quarts in with out worry. start the engine for a bit, shut it back off and check the oil again before taking it out on the road. Do not only put 3 quarts in it and feel safe with it.

The most these trucks take is six and a half U.S. quarts of oil.The safest way to know for sure is to drain all the oil out, remove and install a new oil filter, then install five quarts of your preferred oil.Start the vehicle up and let it run for thirty seconds, then turn it off.Pull the dipstick out and check the level with the engine not running, then top off the oil as necessary.Run it for five minutes to verify that there are no oil leaks, Then Happy Motoring!!! Hope I could help!!!

Try to change your oil and add one quart of lucas oil that will quiet your engine and will lubricate your valves too.
5 quarts of regular oil change. Pour 4 quarts of synthetic oil 5W30 and one quart Lucas Oil.

With oil filter you'll need 5 quarts. After changing oil and filter run briefly and check for leaks. Shut down the engine and check oil level is correct.
I hope this may have helped,
