Just bought an '82 Firebird with the 2.5 L EFI engine. Since I have no owners manual or Chilton's, how much oil do I pour in during an oil and filter change? I'm used to changing oil on Chevy V-8s but am not sure if the capacity is the same (5 qts.).
But, what I would suggest is to fill the filter before installing, then put 3 quarts into the crankcase. Check the dipstick, add what's needed to get to full.
