how much oil after a lift.

[bullittman]

ok, I feel kind of like a bum because I am pretty sure I have read before how much oil I need to put in my 97 g16, I just put the lift kit on this last week so now I know the dipstick will no longer answer my question. So here goes, how much mobile 1 10W-30 oil do I need to buy?

I really did try to search out the answer but just had no luck.

tomorrow an oil change and the fender flares go on!

Exactly one quart no more no less.

Thanks I was pretty sure that was what I had read. I guess I could have gone with my gut but didn't want to take a chance.

NO better not to chance it with these motors. If you over fill the oil it will go up the valve cover breather tube and ruin your air filter.

Put a qt in and mark the stick there after a lift is installed. Want to be really cool, spend a couple bucks and use 1 qt of synthetic instead that is what I do lol. Mine never burns any I hardly ever check it. It will make a huge mess in the aircleaner if you overfill, in fact I have to order a filter for someone that just did that, loaned the cart out and it was overfilled. Its not even lifted must have been a brilliant person to do that.
