jtval 0 #26 June 5, 2003 a freind and I were working on his younger brothers car years ago! after we were done we left the oil change for him to do! we told him all he need to do is PUT OIL in the car then he could drive it! (it WAS his first car) so he calls us back to the car a few hours later...yes hours! and he cant get the thing to crank! we were sure the work we did was correct but we were stumped...until we saw the empty oil bottles. he out 8 qts in a skylark engine. lolMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dbriggs 0 #27 June 16, 2003 The 84 5.0 mustangs take approximatly 5.5 quarts of 5w20 oil, but depending on how many miles are on the motor you might conisder running 10w30. Of course start the engine and then wait 20 seconds before checking the oil. That should come out perfect. At least on every 5.0 mustang i have done 5.5 quarts is perfect. A little late but I hope it helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dbriggs 0 #28 June 16, 2003 One of the lube guys at my work did the same dang thing. He called me over and told me that there were two plugs in the pan. I said open the both. He only opened one. put 5.5 quarts in the motor. Ended up being 2 quarts overfull. To bad he is still there. Now I do all the work and he checks tire pressure. I dont know how he could mess that one up. I shouldent have said that. Now I dreading going to work tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
