so i found an 86 on CL for $850, waited a few weeks(no $) and then finally emailed to find the bottom line. $400, i jump on it, hasnt been tagged since 99 , sitting in a barn auctioned off to raise $ for the deceased, so the story goes, the guy who i bought it from fiddled with it and got it to fire up but not really run. tank is unbelievably rusty,so i pull it all out, workin towards the carbs, and i turn her over to see the diaphrams move and she fires right up! lookin up!!! she belches smoke and is HEMORAGHING oil, but i do the right thing and let it warm, drain the oil to put in new and notice " hey thats alot of oil!" couldnt help myself, i had to find out....71/2 QUARTS!!! HOW DID IT EVEN RUN? so whos the dipstick? the dude for dumping in the oil, or me for not doing such a simple thing as an oil change immediatly and assuming this guy knew anything about mechanics.Im still shaking my head...71/2 quarts

I got tired of trying to read the side of the oil bottles to measure out 1/2 quart when I change out the oil on my Venture. Went to the Dollar Store and bought a plastic measuring cup that reads ounces. Pour in 8 ounces of fresh oil into the cup and then add the remaining 3 full quarts right into the crankcase that will total 3 and 1/2 quarts. Hope this makes it easier for some of you on your oil changes.

According to my manual on the '97 RSTD it shows oil quantity as follows: Total amount: 4.6 US qt. Periodic oil change: 3.7 US Qt With Oil filter replacement: 3.9 US qt. Now, If the manual shows 3.9 quarts required if the filter is changed how does that add up to 4.6 qts total? But what I really need to know is, if I change the filter, how many quarts should I put in? Secondly, if I don't change the filter this time, how many quarts should I put in?
