Re:Oil change

My '03 holds 12. Fill up the filter and pour the rest into the engine.

Re:Oil change

Yes. The manual says that the crankcase holds 11, plus 1 for the filter. That a lot of oil! But I bought the life time oil change from my dealer, which will pay for itself in 65-70,000 miles. He's screwed because I'm keeping this thing forever. ;D

Uh, I think 12 quarts equals 3 gallons.

Actually, if you're going by canadian gallons, it is just shy of 2.5, 2.497 to be exact.

3 gallons US.
11.353 litres.
12 quarts.
24 pints.
48 cups.
96 gills.
384 fluid ounces.
768 tablespoons.
2304 teaspoons.
3071.095 fluid drams.
692.796 cubic inches of oil.

12 quarts, 1 in the filter, 11 in the crankcase.
