10 quarts of oil

[uimtiaz]

Hi,

the last three times i have changed the oil on my 99c2 i have had to add 10quarts of 0W-40 to get the line on the dipstick to full. Why could this be?

This DIY at Loren posted has 8.98 US quarts for a 3.4L C2 99 engine, but 10 QT is what mine takes. :cheers:

My guess is that your confusing US vs Euro Quarts. I agree that the Oil change DIY is confusing.

Just FYI:

9 Imperial (Euro) Quarts = 10.22 Litres which is way too much oil.

9 US Quarts = 8.51 Litres which is the correct amount.

So. Suggestion is forget Qrts and use Litres. You want 8.5 Ltres ;)
