LT-1 Oil capacity
Can't find my owners manual and can't remember if the beast takes 5 quarts or 6....
Anyone got a book handy? Thanks!

Tim, this isn't the answer, but do you remember which era it was that didn't have the right sized dipstick. For some reason, that crossed my mind this morning, and I wanted to be sure to order a new one if I needed it before changing my oil this year.

You may be right. Do you remember what years/engine? Sorry to jack your thread, Tim.

Tim,
My Owner's Manual is for 1996 Prostar 190 and 205 it says LT1 Oil Capacity................4-5 Quarts with filter change Verify with dipstick Oil Type...........SAF 20-50 Racing oil I guess that means that if you don't change the filter its 4 quarts 5 if you do.

John B,
Thanks for the help! I thought 5 sounded right but was starting to second guess myself. T

Doug- before you order a new dipstick, why not call MC or a MC dealer and verify the part number? The short stick was an issue in '97 and/or, early '98. It was a GM problem and they didn't supply the right sticks based on mounting angle.

My 94 350 TBI engine came with the wrong dipstick.. I believe I got the correct dipstick # off this site a few years ago.. It was a 6 qt dipstick and sure screwed with me for a while until I got the correct one.... SO some of the engines out there are 6 qt capacity, not mine...... If someone can use it let me know........

Thanks, I just couldn't remember and didn't want to screw anything up. Again, sorry to get off topic (although I've seen it happen before).
