Second hand. AP1. 30k miles on. SC. FIRST oil change. I know I need OEM filter & about 6qt? because of SC from reading past posts. I see a lot of people using Mobil 1, and I remembered the previous owner used Mobil 1 or whatever was sold at Costco (Mobil1 or Chevron sold at Costco). PlLEASE HELP. How many qts & which oil is best?

5qts is what you need. Mobil 1 is fine.

SC? Are you supercharged? If so what kit? Personally I like AMSoil over Mobil one. I have read many AP1 owners having issues with mobil one burning. I am sure its fine just check it very often and change every 3k. With AMSoil I have let it go for 5k+ without it burning any. If you search the forums this is a much debated topic.

Also welcome to the forum!

5 Quarts of Amsoil signature, plus filter.

The fill with new filter is nearly 6 quarts Amsoil 10/30 with factory oil filter or Amsoil filter

Everyone hear has a Favorite oil to use so your going to get a lot of suggestions. Just use a good quality oil and a very good quality filter and you will be fine.
The factory owners manual calls for standard 10W30 oil and will also give you the proper factory oil filter number to ask for at the dealer. If you use Synthetic oil most all are better than any standard oil....good luck and enjoy

really? Ive only ever put 5 quarts in. 50k miles strong. should the oil lever be at the tip top of the dip stick? I keep it in the middle

You you tilt the car forward and let it drain long enough, you will need more then 5 qts to fill it.

Hope you enjoy the car.

The OEM filter is good.I personally run Wix oil filters in all my cars listed below.Amsoil 0w30 in my 03S has worked great since 1st oil change.Now has 94k.
