Stupid Question
« on: May 12, 2025, 11:58:55 AM »
Do all Pontiac 400s hold 6 quarts of oil?  Seems like it sits at full at 5 but my dipstick isn't stock.  Better to check cold that hot or vise versa?

Depends on the pan I guess. I normally run the car for a few minutes or so before draining, not enough to make it scalding hot. Think I do about 6 quarts every time.
