    brand and type - what ever was used before. Changing brands, grades and types of oil causes problems.

    amount - until it is full, but not over full.

    THIS WILL REQUIRE A TOTAL OF 5 QUARTS OF OIL AND A NEW OIL FILTER.
    Royal Purple is fine and will work well.

    “BRILLIANT”!!!!

    Any oil with a “SM” rating is good, that is the latest standard. Look at the oil rating on the back of the oil bottle, SM is the latest standard.
    As far as the quantity, I think five quarts. But you can call Auto Zone and they will let you know what is the correct amount.

    For the previous changes remember if you might want to always use synthetic you have to find out.
