How much?
 
Wasup guys just wanted to know how much quarts of oil an 04 gt takes? I put 6 quarts of royal purple 5w20 is that right? I tried searching and found nothing, thanks.

The ford owners manual says 6 quarts, so thats what Ive always put in it. I have always used motorcraft 5w-20, but the vortech manual says to use 5w-30 fully synthetic. Im switching to royal purple next oil change, even if it is over $7 a quart:ohsnap:

6. 8 for me with an oil cooler. Royal purple is a serious investment for me.

You're not supposed to use synthetic with a supercharger. It causes blow by.

block holds 5qts...

if you change the oil filter too (WHICH YOU SHOULD) you use 6...

I like purolator filters... and i use mobil oil...

i've heard bad things about fram

I use Motorcraft or K&N and Mobil.

sloppy huge gaps, incorrectly phased rings and worn rings or cylinder bores cause blow by. Not synthetic oil. Show me some docs.

motorcraft filters and whatever synthetic they have 8 quarts of.

My 96 has always taken 6 quarts and with even the new motor rebuild it took about 6 1/4 for it. Mobil one filters and either mobil one synthetic or Royal purple ($4.95 a quart here) or amsoil and amsoil filters. It depends how rich I am feeling. Just remember Royal Purple and Amsoil will find every little place to drip from in a motor with some well worn miles. I never had an oil leak with my first motor even with full synthetics until I switched to Amsoil. Be carefull.
