960 owners: how much oil in the engine? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be tjts1 on  Mon Jan 24 13:03 CST 2005 [RELATED]

This has me a little confused. Both the owner's manual and the dealer service manual specify 5.9 quarts of oil if you changing oil and filter. Then there is a little " * " which directs you to a condition. 6.4 quarts if you also drain the oil cooler. What?
The oil filter is at the bottom of the oil cooler. You can't change the oil filter without also training the oil cooler. Is there a separate drain I don't know about? The first few times I changed the oil and filter, I added 6 quarts. After the first drive (and letting it cool) I was always down .5 quarts. After topping off that initial .5 quart the dip stick is always at full. Now I just buy 7 quarts and fill 6.5 from the very begining.
Is this just a 94 model year quirk?
