  • 94 3.4L oil change

    Hey all,

    I know this has probably been asked a million times but I searched and couldnt find it. How many quarts of oil does the 3.4L v6 take? I lost my owners manual, drained the oil and now Im kinda up the crik until I find out.

    Thanks

    I remember something like 4.3 quarts. I know that the .3 is hard to figure out, so just put in 4 quarts and then sneak up on the last amount by waiting a few minutes and then checking the dip stick and adding a little more until it's full. Just wait a few minutes btwn each time that you add some and when you check it.

            dman white! do you have some sort of dry sump system? modified oil pan? or jsut some sort of remote tank? i cant imagine you needing 3.5 extra quarts for just the turbo...

            speaking of, hows that comin along? i havent heard anything new on your project in quite a while... im interested in that cause i plan on doing something similar to what you were doing...

              its done i'm tunning it as we speak. and i plan on modifying the turbo kit and make forward headers and lt1 intakes for the 3.4 so i've been very busy

              i have a deep pan that holds an extra 1.5 qrt an oil cooler which hold about a 1 qrt and then the turbo lines.

                the 3.4 stock oil filter (for AC Delco) is part number PF47. If you buy PF52 (the kind used on the 4.3 GM V6), it will increase your oil capacity to a full 5 quarts.

                I have been using the PF52 size for a long time with no problems.

                  So we can use a 90° Vortec 4.3 oil filter on our cars? Same engine used in the 90's Blazer/Jimmy right?

                        I need to do this cause this 5 quarts of oil thing isn't working, I run high rpm too long sometimes, and I'm thinking about a gravity fed saver tank on top of a larger pan, and maybe even a cooler.

                          you have to bend/extend the pipe. i'm not 100% sure though because i had the machine shop take care of it when they built the motor

                              FYI. 4.3 quarts of oil is for the 3.4 Camaro.(don't forget to wet the gasket)
