check your manual it will tell u how much to put in! My advice put a little less than what it say in the book as you will never get all your old oil out. After you've done that let the car tick over and warm up then check your oil level on the dipstick and add or remove oil as required! easy peasy! I am off to change my water today then brake fluid tomorrow ahh the joys! later dude
