Re: Crossfires of Maryland (COM)
Guys....8.5 quarts is correct!!!!! I'm not sure why everyone get's different stories on this. The manual is not wrong. 8.5 goes in mine and 8.5 comes out when I change it. The oil sensor and dip stick all agree with this.
Oil and filters can be had from many sources. Filters range from about 8 to 20 dollars depending on where you get them and what brand. I get my Mobile 0-40 (only thing I will use) on sale from Advance when they do the specials. 5 quarts and a filter for $32.00. It's a great deal. I buy 2 of the specials and have all the oil I need and keep the spare (which later after 8 purchases ends up with enough to do another change. As far as the filters, they keep stacking up. The store I go to allows me to switch out the mobile filter with a K and N filter or others as I desire. Since I get 2 filters included each time I can switch out the filter mid mileage and have a clean one more regularly installed (need to add a touch of oil when the filter comes out.
BTW - ADVANCE SALE IS GOING ON NOW!! $29.99 FOR 5 QUARTS AND A FILTER. I'D BUY MORE BUT I'M ALREADY UP TO 20 PLUS QUARTS AND 6 FILTERS IN STORAGE
Paul is correct almost........Mercedes Benz/AMG 3.2 Engines require 7.5 litres of motor oil to function properly PERIOD! The confusion is litres to quarts and whether your using the correct term at the correct time.....7.5 litres equals 7.93 quarts {or 8 US quarts}. CAVEAT: DO NOT OVER FILL A MERCEDES BENZ/AMG ENGINE.
