If you're replacing the oil filter also,it holds 5quarts. with a full size oil filter.sometimes parts stores advertise a cheap oil change for less than $20.00 thats what it is, a cheap oil change.they will sell you a generic oil filter and cheap oil sometimes. i use 30 castrol and add lucas oil treatment to my oil and will only buy a fram oil filter,but thats me. you may be different. i have a 1994 ford explorer 4x4 and have over 400.000 miles on with no trouble out of the engine ever.but i spend more money on a good oil change than most people would'nt it cost me around $35.00 for an oil change that i do myself. i do not beleive in cheap drive thru oil changes. they but their oil in bulk 50gallon barrels and install generic oil filters. some of them may be good, don't take the wrong way. but i have'nt done the research on how many miles and the problems that occur from using a quick oil change place. i know my history with my vehicle.i recommend 30 weight castrol in winter and 40 weith in summer and aleays use a fram filter. hope this helps and thank you for choosing fixya.com
